The figures were presented by Anna Gvozdiar, Adviser to the Minister of Defence of Ukraine, during the panel “European Industrial Deterrence: Lessons and Implications from Ukraine and Europe” at the Munich Security Conference. This year’s conference focused on political negotiations concerning Europe’s future security architecture and Ukraine’s role within it.
During the event, Ukrainian defence manufacturers concluded several agreements on joint production with European partners. The agreements cover reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles, medium-range strike drones, multirotor drones and unmanned ground systems.
“Ukraine has proven that it can swiftly expand defence manufacturing capacity even amid a full-scale war. We are emerging as a dependable partner, contributing to the development of Europe’s modern defence architecture, notably through joint production initiatives that enhance both national and partner capabilities,” Anna Gvozdiar said.
At the Ukraine House, temporarily relocated from Davos to Munich for the conference, partners were able to view the capabilities of Ukraine’s defence sector at first hand. The ZBROYA exhibition in Munich displayed samples and mock-ups of modern Ukrainian weapon systems, including unmanned systems, with particular attention given to an exhibit dedicated to countering Shahed-type drones.
