Umierov noted that some of these drones had been financed by international partners through investments in the Ukrainian defence industry.
Background: In 2024, Ukraine's Defence Procurement Agency (DPA) signed contracts and made advances for UAH 20 billion [approx. US$480.3 million] worth of DeepStrike long-range drones.
