Engines are a key component of drones that strike enemy targets. Just two years ago, their mass production in Ukraine seemed impossible — yet today, more and more drones are flying with engines labeled Made in Ukraine.

This was stated on December 15 by First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov.

Motor-G, a member of the Brave1 cluster, is already producing more than 100,000 engines per month and is one of the largest manufacturers in the world.

The key advantage of Ukrainian engines is their adaptation to real battlefield conditions. This provides drones with the necessary speed, endurance, and reliability in the most challenging environments.

400 km/h — this is the speed reached by an interceptor drone equipped with a Motor-G engine.

A grant program for component manufacturers was recently announced. Ukrainian developers can receive up to 8 million hryvnias from Brave1 to accelerate R&D and increase the technological readiness of their solutions.

“We are developing the components market and building Ukraine’s technological independence”, — Mykhailo Fedorov noted.
