🇺🇦🔋"90% localization" of Ukrainian drones may be manipulation: Bornyakov says Ukraine produces 4–5 million UAVs, but almost all key components are imported
🛩📦Oleksandr Bornyakov stated that Ukraine manufactures 4–5 million drones, but does not have domestic production of batteries, magnets, or even fiberglass laminate for circuit boards. “In our drones almost everything is imported. When someone says, ‘Our product is localized at 90%,’ they are taking advantage of people not understanding what a drone consists of,” he said in an interview with Forbes Ukraine.
⚠️🪫According to Bornyakov, a drone consists of a battery, a magnet, a board that requires fiberglass laminate, a chip, and explosives: “We have no battery production. We make 4–5 million drones, which don’t fly without batteries....If there are no batteries, the front falls.”
