Russia has significantly increased the production of FPV drones. Currently, enterprises can ensure the supply of thousands of units per day. This was stated by Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov.
Given the high effectiveness of UAVs and their relatively low cost, domestic enterprises can already ensure the supply of over 15 thousand FPV drones alone per day.
According to him, in 2023, this many drones were produced per month. Manturov emphasized that the production of UAVs for reconnaissance and strike missions, which are particularly in demand by the troops, has increased. They are assembled and sent to the Russian Armed Forces within the deadlines set by the state defense order.
Military personnel also use ground and naval robotic systems. Russian developers have created more than 100 modifications of autonomous platforms, Manturov added.
They actively use technologies with artificial intelligence (AI) elements, implement jam-resistant communication, and expand the range of ammunition. Simultaneously, work is underway to reduce production costs and improve the quality of finished products, the government representative concluded.
