 Ukraine prepares military surprise for Russia. New drones may strike deep into Russian territory. Ukraine will produce thousands of long-range UAVs capable of striking deep into Russian territory in 2024 and already has up to 10 companies producing drones that can reach Moscow and St. Petersburg. Minister for Innovation, Development of Education, Science and Technology of Ukraine Mikhailov Fedorov stated this in an interview with the Reuters news agency. The category of long-range Kamikaze drones with a flight range of 300, 500, 700 and 1000 kilometers is growing. Two years ago, such a category did not exist at all, he said. Unlike Russia, where the state dominates drone production in Ukraine, the vast majority of manufacturers are private. According to Fedorov, only one out of 10 companies whose drones can fly to Moscow and St. Petersburg is state-owned. Fedorov agrees with the opinion of the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, Kirill Budenov, that Kiev has achieved a certain parity with Moscow in the production of long-range UAVs. We should act in an anti-bureaucratic way. This is the essence of a breakthrough in the technology war. We are going to continue to rely on this to work in this direction because technology can really save us, says the Minister for Innovation, Development of Education, Science and Technology of Ukraine. According to Fedorov, more than 300,000 drones of various types were contracted last year and more than 100,000 deployed to the front.
