Quote from Zelenskyy: "Today I received the first jointly made attack drone. We saw the production line and the first flight of the drone. This is modern Ukrainian technology. Battle-tested. Powered by AI. It will strike, it will scout, it will protect our soldiers. And this year ten thousand drones manufactured here will go to Ukraine and strengthen our forces."

"Quantum Frontline Industries has started production in just two months after the announcement. QFI is the first of its kind but will not be the last. We are proud to be a flagship company for Ukrainian-German industrial cooperation and proud to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the best technology of both countries," said QFI Managing Director Matthias Lehna.

Mykyta Rozhkov, Chief Business Development Officer of Frontline Robotics, said that the first drone manufactured by QFI is the result of months of work by Ukrainian engineers and international partners.

"It was created from frontline experience and is already helping Ukrainian forces operate more effectively," Rozhkov added.

Background: Frontline Robotics presented the Linza 3.0 on 11 February 2026.

The agreement was also officially confirmed at the level of Ukraine's Ministry of Defence.
