President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief’s Staff, during which the participants discussed accelerating the production of interceptors for enemy drones and involving businesses in the production of air defense systems.
The main focus was on speeding up every process needed to produce high-speed interceptors against jet-powered “shaheds.”
“Ukraine has manufacturers capable of carrying out this task. Prototypes have been developed, and work is underway to bring this new weapon to the required level of effectiveness,” the Head of State emphasized.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked all the developers and manufacturers – every company – for the work they do for our country and our people. The President noted that it is important to complete this task within the specified timeframe.
During the meeting, the participants also discussed in detail the potential for involving businesses in the production, supply, and setup of certain types of air defense systems. Specific deadlines and tasks have been set for this.
“The overarching goal is to bring our defense industry and cooperation with partners to a level that will provide Ukraine with enough high-quality, high-speed interceptor drones and low-cost missiles to ensure protection as the Russians ramp up production of their high-speed attack weapons of this kind,” the Head of State noted.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine’s intelligence agencies have clear information about the enemy’s plans and that Ukraine’s resources are being directed toward delivering a clear response to this threat.
“We will also act asymmetrically. The relevant operations have been approved,” the President concluded.
