Ukrainian efforts to decentralize its weapons-production chain have taken a significant step forward, with the establishment of small-scale assembly sites across the country.
According to recent reports, a film studio hit by Russian forces last month inadvertently exposed a drone plant in the process. The revelation highlights Kiev's strategy to diversify its production capabilities and reduce vulnerability to targeted strikes.
As part of its efforts to boost drone manufacturing, Ukraine has been sourcing components from abroad to support the production of FPV and fixed-wing long-range drones at its assembly sites.
The decentralization of production is aimed at ensuring that key components and equipment are not concentrated in a single location, making it more difficult for Russia to target and disrupt Ukraine's military capabilities.
