Details: As reported, Ukraine is actively developing this field and producing interceptors to counter Russian drones that constantly terrorise Ukrainian cities.

"American-Ukraine production, co-production," Zelenskyy said. "I hope that in future we will have more."

The president did not provide details regarding production volumes. However, it is worth recalling that at the end of October he announced Ukraine's intention to reach a production capacity of 500-800 interceptor drones per day as early as November.

Background :

• Among the developments in this field is the General Chereshnia Bullet drone, which can reach speeds of over 309 km/h. The military also uses the Sting drone by Wild Hornets, capable of accelerating to over 315 km/h.
• Recently, Ukraine also launched a national defence fundraiser worth UAH 1 billion (about US$23.7 million) to strengthen protection against Shaheds. The initiative aims to raise funds to purchase interceptor drones and equip operator crews with the necessary equipment.
