We have to make the war price for the aggressor absolutely unacceptable and make it - President's speech at the International Defense Industrial Defense Forum
And this speaks a lot about our stability - the stability of the Ukrainian state and the inner strength of our people. Ukrainians are capable of great results, for a significant transformation, when they believe in themselves when they are able to unite and when they know that the life of the people depends on how each of us, and therefore, we can all be effective.
And, most importantly, truthfully productive - not simply in presentations or reports, but in the real protection of our country, in the protection of our independence, which means - in the protection of our people. Today there are many representatives of such Ukrainian - I am sure, I can say - Ukrainian success and our effective cooperation with partners.
It is enough to give only one digit so that everything is clear: from the beginning of this full -scale war, the potential of the Ukrainian defense industry has been increased by dozens of times. Our potential in the production of only drones and missiles will be $ 35 billion next year.
Despite the objective complexity of this task of building the defense industry, weapons are a product technological and difficult to develop, production and implementation - despite all difficulties, Ukrainians create their national defense product, which is already ahead of many others in the world. We have been able to quickly and qualitatively set up the production of our domestic artillery - only our Bogdan is producing 40 a month. This is a serious result. Thank you to the manufacturers.
Plus our production of shells: last year we made and put on the front 2. 4 million mortar and artillery ammunition of different caliber. Ukrainians are undoubtedly the first in Europe in the development and use of drones. Ukrainian sea drones have become a global defensive sensation - we were able to return part of the Black Sea, which is necessary for the stability of our country and the protection of our cities - Odessa, other cities.
For the first time in its history, the Russian fleet in the Black Sea was expelled into remote bays. Successful use of marine drones in Ukraine has largely changed marine defensive strategies of all leading states of the world. Our drones that affect Russian oil assets are a significant manifestation of Ukraine's power.
In history, Ukrainian protection has not been so long -range and tangible for Russia, and with our other tools and tools from our partners, we will be able to count on the achievement of reliable and sufficient security guarantees for Ukraine after this war. We have to make the war price for the aggressor absolutely unacceptable. We will do it. And we will respond to every blow to our people, in our cities and Ukrainian communities.
Ukrainian shock drones are a lot of them: "February", Fire Point, Shark, Beaver and others - work. And they work very well. You see how we do it. Ukrainians supply the necessary types of drones to the front, and these are enormous production volumes and enormous volumes of deliveries. From the usual episodes to ground robotic complexes. Already at the front, more than 40% of the weapon used is our Ukrainian weapons. This is important.
And this is a weapon made here, produced by our people, produced in Ukraine, produced with Ukraine. And our weapons will only be more. Tasks for manufacturers, for the Government of Ukraine, for all institutions involved: at least 50% of weapons at the front at the end of the year - our Ukrainian weapons. And this task must be realized. Just like the task of maximum deployment of production of drones-interceptors for the beat of "Shahmed". There is a shortage so far, but we are working on it.
Just like the task of Ukrainian ballistics. We have repeatedly used Neptune - our winged missiles, and there will be a time when we can start using our own ballistic missiles regularly. It is one of the key security tasks for the state and all enterprises and people responsible for the Ukrainian missile program. Your effective ballistics is one of the safety guarantees.
Dear present! All partners of Ukraine in the world know that the potential of our weapons production is much greater than it is now funded by our internal resource and bilateral agreements with our partners. We need funding for all potential to work. And we work with all partners who can help provide it. I want to mention the Netherlands. This is one of our biggest partners in defense, I thank it.
Thank you for all the defensive packages provided by the Netherlands, for constant interaction and for very important investments in our Ukrainian defense. We really appreciate it, so I am very grateful for it. And for your special and personal support, Dick, thank you very much. Ukraine is already coming to the next stage, and we began to create joint defense production with our key partners, to create both in Ukraine, in Ukraine and in partner countries.
In fact, so we integrate Ukraine into the Western world, in particular, and such an integration of our capacity of domestic production. It is time to run the export of our Ukrainian weapons - those weapons that we have in our surplus, and therefore can be exported to make funding for the types of weapons that are especially needed here in Ukraine today for protection.
I have already entrusted the government, office, all our team and the Secretary of the National Security Service of Ukraine to develop and present the key elements of such an export system. The overall working name of this program is "weapons", our export product. There are already agreements on the opening of export-import platforms in Europe, the United States and the Middle East. The task is to put these key platforms into operation by the end of the year.
I expect that opening exports, opening new joint ventures together with attracting investments in Ukraine will allow us to significantly scale our defense industry. Ukrainians are not warlike, but we know how to protect our home. The courage of Ukrainians has. We have potential. The main thing is that we can continue to provide the result together - the result that is necessary for us all. Ukrainian weapons and Ukrainian protection are a really common matter.
