Ukraine Plans to Scale Up Production of Drones to Intercept Jet-Powered Suicide Drones — Koretsky
Ukraine will significantly ramp up production of interceptor drones capable of shooting down high-speed Russian “Shahed” jet drones. Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky announced plans to expand the production of such drones.
Koretsky called scaling up the production of interceptors one of the key tasks in countering Russian jet drones. According to him, all government agencies, without exception, are focused on this issue.
To enable manufacturers to ramp up production of these drones more quickly, the government plans to:
- simplify operating conditions for manufacturers;
- minimize bureaucratic procedures;
- increase financial support through credit instruments.

As a reminder, the Ukrainian Armed Forces damaged five workshops at a military factory in Russia.
On the night of September 26, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck a number of key facilities on Russian territory that support the Russian military machine. Among them were the Azov Optical-Mechanical Plant in the Rostov Region and the “Ilsky” oil refinery in the Krasnodar Region.
As a reminder, the Perm oil refinery in Russia ceased operations following an attack by Ukrainian drones on September 25. According to Reuters, a fire broke out at the facility, and pipelines, storage tanks, and processing units were damaged. It is not yet known when the refinery will be able to resume operations.
