"We manufacture shells, artillery systems, and long-range drones. However, a significant need remains for air defense – we are ready to discuss options for the joint production of missile systems and interceptors," emphasized Boev during the discussion on priority strategic projects for Ukraine's defense industry in 2025.
He added that France is a leader in the production of air and missile defense systems, and it is crucial for the cooperation between Ukraine and France in this area to progress.
"This is important not only for enhancing the capabilities of Ukraine's defense forces now but also for ensuring defense readiness in the future and supporting long-term production," noted Boev.
According to him, Ukrainian manufacturers require additional funding to fully utilize their capacities.
