By 2025, the Russians have planned to produce 57 units of modern aircraft, including the Su-57, Su-35, Su-34, and Su-30. This was stated by Deputy Head of the Air Defense Directorate of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine Vadym Skibitsky in an interview with Ukrinform.
"In addition, about 1,100 new BTR-3, BTR-82A, artillery systems - 365 units are also new, not modernized. At the same time, the modernization and restoration of weapons and military equipment means thousands of units of weapons used by the Russian Federation," he added, speaking about the enemy's plans to release new types of weapons this year.
At the same time, Vadym Skibitsky drew attention to the fact that both Ukraine and Russia today focus significant attention on the production of those types of weapons that are effective on the battlefield. We are talking about unmanned systems, FPV drones, various missile systems. According to the deputy head of the GUR, the enemy is also trying to increase this armament.
"In 2025, the aggressor planned to produce almost 2.5 thousand so-called high-precision missiles of various classes. These include cruise and ballistic missiles of the Iskander complex, hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, and others. Russia intends to increase production," he noted.
According to Vadym Skibitsky, a significant increase in the production of unmanned aerial vehicles has also been observed, primarily such as "Geranium", "Harpy" and FPV drones.
Earlier, the representative of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, Andriy Yusov, stated that the Russian Federation currently has the technical ability to produce up to 2,700 units of Shahed attack drones every month.
Meanwhile, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, reported that the Defense Forces are working on creating an echeloned system to counter Shahed drones.
