The Armed Forces for a month was commissioned by 7 Ukrainian drones - Reznikov

The Ministry of Defense has greatly accelerated the admission procedure, which previously took almost two years. It is now enough for the developers to show that the drones correspond to TTH. During the month, the Armed Forces of Ukraine used seven models of ordinary drones. The Minister of Defense Alexei Reznikov reported on his Facebook page.

According to the minister, the admission to operation means that the Ministry of Defense can buy drones and to accept them to the state and use them as intended. Previously, the approval procedure took almost two years, but now the drones are used very quickly if they have the appropriate tactical and technical characteristics (TTH).

Currently, the Ministry of Defense is considering 19 more applications for the adoption of UAV of Ukrainian production, and has to make a final decision on them by the end of 2022. "Earlier, the army was put into operation 1-2 UAV samples per year. For comparison: in the last 30 days, 7 samples of UAV of Ukrainian production have been admitted to the Armed Forces,"-said Alexei Reznikov. He recalled that on September 30, the Government of Ukraine adopted Resolution No.

1097, which amended the order of supplying to the army of weapons, equipment and ammunition in wartime, as well as the event on guaranteeing national security and defense, as well as restraining Russian aggression. This solution has greatly simplified the admission of various weapons and equipment to operation in the Armed Forces, especially unmanned aerial vehicles.

To simplify the process, the Ministry of Defense launches a website for drones, where every team with finished machines on their hands can apply to the Ministry of Defense for admission to the product in the Ukrainian army. The Ministry of Defense purchases allowed UAVs for budgetary funds, but developers can find resources for the creation of equipment through volunteers and platform United24.
