As the drone race continues unabated in Kyiv, current presidential advisor Oleksander Kamyshin, formerly the Minister of Transport and then Strategic Industry, claims that Ukraine is capable of producing "5 million FPV drones per year". 

The proliferation of manufacturers is reportedly behind such an achievement, as reported by Franceinfo. According to Oleksander Kamyshin, who discussed the topic in an interview with Radio Charter, the country currently has more than 150 drone producers. 

Whether for reconnaissance missions or attacks against the enemy, Ukrainian drones are incredibly effective on the battlefield. The presidential advisor also highlights that for security reasons, "this production [of drones] must be carried out in many locations, and not in a single factory".
