Ukraine intends to establish itself as a significant global arms exporter, particularly in drone technology, according to Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. Budanov emphasized the urgency of this ambition, noting Russia shares the same goal. He believes Russia will begin selling arms to other nations if it successfully scales up its production capabilities. This development marks a competitive push between the two countries within the international arms market. The race focuses on capturing market share and influencing global defense strategies. Ukraine’s success hinges on accelerating its production and export processes to stay ahead of Russia. Ultimately, both nations seek to leverage their military-industrial complexes for economic and geopolitical gain.
