Naval drones: Ukraine can produce advanced weapons systems - NYT

By increasing the production of drones and long -range missiles, Kiev can force Moscow to consider the possibility of negotiations by the end of next year or 2025. About it writes The New York Times. The authors of the material note the successful combat work of Ukrainian naval drones, which terrified the Russian ships of the Black Sea Fleet. The attacks of sea drones, written by observers, became a bright spot against the background of the counter -offensive of the land forces this year.

"The use of marine drones emphasizes the further path of Ukraine in the fight against Russia. The idea is to supplement the weapons supplied by Western partners, weapons produced within Ukraine, including innovative systems, similar to the naval unmanned fleet," the authors of the publication explained.

The article also emphasizes that Ukrainians will have to rely largely on military assistance for the future, but in the White House they encourage the creation of joint ventures between US and Ukrainian weapons. As the Ukrainian offensive has now stalled, and the chances of promoting land are small, the purpose will be to create a fairly convincing threat with the help of drones and missiles of the far radius of action.

According to military analyst Sergiy Grabsky, despite the problems in the Ukrainian MIC, Ukrainian weapons were able to provide the army by 20% of domestic equipment. Thus, Ukrainian enterprises produce armored vehicles and tanks, self -propelled howitzers, artillery shells and anti -tank missiles with laser guidance. However, according to military experts, its greatest potential is the combat tests of innovative systems that can be ahead of old samples of military equipment.
