"Not only money": the Armed Forces fighter replied whether there was enough at the front of a million FPV-punks

The serviceman Igor Lutsenko said that the state closes only 10-20% of needs. He voiced a different figure how much Ukraine needs drones to keep the front and move forward. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine plans to produce a million FPV-oules for 2024. The military serviceman of the Armed Forces (Armed Forces) and the ex -deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, Igor Lutsenko, in an interview for Telegraph, replied if there would be enough.

"A million drones are a completely achievable figure for production. However, we need to have at least two to three million a year," he said. The defender explained that the war in Ukraine is quite intense, so it is able to "swallow" so many FPV-oules. According to him, one million units would be enough to keep the front, but not to advance. "The question is not even in quantity, but as a question. And the question is whether the state will participate in this process.

Now it is up to 90% of private producers at private expense," Lutsenko said. He suggested that if Ukraine had noticed a "big trend" on the FPV-the other half a year ago, a large government order could already be made. The drones could also be distributed - by calibers, models and classes. "And our private enterprises could accomplish this task. First of all, it should be done by large and medium -sized businesses, perhaps to unite," the military said.

He stressed that nowadays the production of drones in Ukraine is almost completely private. The state can close only 10-20% of the needs of the army. "It seems to me that the state MIC is practically not working. Everything is holding on a private initiative. After all, there is not only money from the state, but even the wording of what is needed," Lutsenko added.
