Umerov announces a large Ukrainian missile program

By the end of this year, or in early 2025, information on Ukraine's large missile program will be presented. The partners have already verbally agreed to finance it.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov during the second International Defense Industries Forum (DFNC2), as quoted by Interfax.

“As you know, we have recently focused on missile and drone programs. Next year - or by the end of the year - you will hear a lot about a big missile program,” the minister said, adding that Ukraine has already started working on domestic ballistic missiles.

According to Umerov, the program is “quite powerful.” In particular, he noted that Kyiv has already exchanged it with its partners, after which the latter “have given us a verbal agreement that they will finance it, and in the near future we will receive a final written response from our partners.”
