As of May 16, 2026, Ukraine has delivered over 50,000 drones to its military, according to a statement from the Ministry of Defense. The drones include reconnaissance and attack models, produced both domestically and through international partnerships.
The announcement was made by Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who oversees digital transformation and drone procurement. He stated that the drones have been used effectively on the front lines, enhancing surveillance and strike capabilities.
This delivery is part of a broader effort to scale up drone production, with a target of producing 1 million drones annually by 2026. The government has allocated significant funding to support this initiative, aiming to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.
