According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine's defense industry has already reached significant scales and continues to develop rapidly. The country is capable of producing millions of drones, a large number of ammunition, and also has its own long-range missiles, which are no longer just being developed but are already being used in practice.

The long range of Ukrainian drones — up to 1750 kilometers — is separately noted. It is emphasized that this is not for the sake of records, but for fighting the enemy, and that such capabilities will further increase.

The use of ground-based robotic systems (GRS) is also mentioned.

"The future is already on the front, and Ukraine is creating it. These are our GRS. For the first time in the history of this war, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned platforms — GRS and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and this operation was performed without the involvement of infantry and without losses on our side.

"Ratel", "Termite", "Ardal", "Lynx", "Snake", "Protector", "Volia" and our other GRS have completed over 22,000 missions on the front in just three months. In other words, lives have been saved over 22,000 times — a robot went into the most dangerous zones instead of a warrior. This is about high technologies protecting the highest value — human life," Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.

He also noted that Ukraine has experience in ensuring security in the Black Sea. This experience is unique because Ukrainians simultaneously fought against the fleet, air strikes, and mines. It is noted that it could be useful to other countries if cooperation is offered.

Sea drones are also mentioned, which are already known and could become export products. In addition, the development of Ukrainian artillery, the production of shells and armored vehicles, which are becoming increasingly effective, is emphasized.
