Herman Smetanin, Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine, said that Quantum Systems was demonstrating a good example of production localisation – the company has already opened an R&D (research and development) centre and a drone service and development facility in Ukraine.

During the meeting, the parties discussed ways to accelerate drone production.
