Zelensky: There are defeats with long-range "Neptunes"; Ukrainian weaponry is a cornerstone of Ukraine's independence.

Зеленский: Поражения от "длинных" "Нептунов" подтверждают, что украинское оружие – ключевой элемент нашей независимости.

"This year, we have already produced over 2.5 million mortar rounds and shells for our artillery, ranging from 60mm to 155mm caliber. We are ramping up this production. Additionally, we are also increasing everything related to our drones. Next year, Ukraine will produce at least 30,000 long-range drones," said the president.

He noted that there is a goal to create at least 3,000 cruise missiles and drone missiles.

"Just like this year, next year we will fully meet the targets for the production and supply of all other types of drones. Our warriors are already intercepting Russian reconnaissance drones using our drones, FPV, and so on. We continue to seek solutions to intercept Shahed drones using FPV," emphasized Zelensky.

He mentioned that Ukraine's missile program is also progressing.

"Many have already remembered (especially the Russians) our Ukrainian 'Neptunes'. But we have also developed 'long' Neptunes, and the very name indicates the objectives. There have already been initial successes. [...] I am proud of our developers and missile manufacturers. [...] Ukrainian weaponry is one of the foundations of Ukrainian independence," stated Zelensky.
