Details: Kamyshin said that the Ukrainian drones are similar to the Iranian ones "in terms of the amount of explosives they carry, range, and other technical parameters".

"As of this year, our capabilities to produce such drones are as high as Russia's," he said.

Kamyshin added that Ukraine is also successful in the production of other types of UAVs.

"Everything that explodes in Russia is our achievement," Kamyshin stated.

Background:

• Kamyshin said that Ukraine's defence sector would grow sixfold this year.
