Ukraine has successfully tested a domestically produced drone with a range of 1,000 km.
Source. This was stated on Tuesday by a representative of the press service of the state arms manufacturer Ukroboronprom.
Ukroboronprom spokeswoman Natalia Sad posted on Facebook on the "successful use of the drone at 1,000 km". However, she did not provide details or clarify whether this had been a test flight or whether the drone had been used on the battlefield.
Ukraine's military, state-owned and private companies have long been working to build an arsenal of cheap and easy-to-manufacture drones that they hope will be able to be used successfully in the war against russia.
In the fall of 2022, Ukroboronprom announced that it was finalizing work on a new drone with a range of 1,000 km and a 75 kg warhead.
Background. On Tuesday, President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a law exempting domestic drone manufacturers from customs duties and value added tax, MP Yaroslav Zhelezniak reported on his Telegram.
