The German drone manufacturer Quantum Systems announced in a press release this afternoon that they will double their production capacity in Ukraine over the course of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Quantum Systems, this represents their unwavering commitment to provide the Ukrainian army with the state-of-the-art drone systems it needs right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already since the beginning of the full-scale invasion by Russia in 2022, Quantum Systems has been closely involved in the defence of Ukraine, for example by providing a total of 448 high-end Vector eVTOL reconnaissance drones to the Ukrainian army, financed by the German government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As things stand today, a further 122 Vector eVTOL UAVs will be delivered to Ukraine in the near future, while the Ukrainian military announced a demand for around 800 additional drone systems already nearly a year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to meet this not only but primarily in Ukraine growing demand, Quantum Systems opened its Kyiv-based production facility back in April last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening ceremony was attended not only by the then Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine, Alexander Kamyshin, but also by the German Vice-Chancellor and Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Robert Habeck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the German drone manufacturer did not provide any further details about the plans at the time of publication of this article, we know from a press release published last year that the overall annual production capacity should increase to up to 1,000 drones as a result of the production facility opened in Kyiv, with an investment volume of up to \u20ac6 million over two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A doubling of the production capacity in Ukraine is therefore likely to have a significant impact on the ability to provide the Ukrainian army with additional Vector eVTOL UAVs as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A delegation from Quantum Systems under the leadership of Co-CEO Sven Kruck emphasised this fact yesterday at a meeting<\/a> at the Munich Security Conference with Herman Smetanin, Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine and Ganna Gvozdiar, Deputy Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smetanin praised Quantum Systems as a good example of production localisation thanks to their R&D hub and production facility which both operate in Ukraine and thanked them for their courage and consistency in their work to strengthen the Ukrainian Armed Forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
