From 10 Drones a Month to Nearly 100,000 — Inside Ukraine's Largest Drone Manufacturer | Marko Kushnir, General Cherry

If we will have some kind of fully autonomic systems, it will be very scary because you don't need other human to kill the human. So that's very scary because you just need a robot. You just need a drone. You started manufacturing in 2023. Today, is the majority of drones on the battlefield, are they manufactured in Ukraine? And where are you in that group of manufacturers? I think that Ukraine's better in constructing something new something new technologies, but Russia, of course, is better in The US in scaling of these technologies. Drones is not only about targeting. We understand drones and know how to operate it, we know how to destroy it. So we are opening to different collaborations in different ways. Introduce yourself and explain the company you work for and the drone you produce and how how important it is in the current battle on on with Russia. My name is Marco. I'm a director of communications of one of the biggest drone producers in Ukraine, our company called General Cherry. We produce different type of drones. It's we have different products, like, from ordinary from seven to 15 inches Seven to 15 inches. Inches. Yeah. And we and but, of course, we have a flag on products flagship products products like interceptors. So here's one of our flagship. It's interceptor general bullet. It's a strategic level interceptor for anti shacket work. So we destroy the Russian shackets or so called. But we have different type of interceptors. We have tactical interceptors.

So we haven't any frontline, and we haven't any gray zone in our. We have only kill zone. It's, like, different parts of frontline. The kill zone can be from one kilometer to 20 kilometers. So it's a area where only drones rule rule everything. So you can use your vehicles. You can use you any type of big big cars or any type of armored vehicles, you can use only your feet if you will will will be lucky. Or you can use different unmanned systems, air unmanned systems, ground unmanned systems. So Yeah. And, of course, this is zone of of big work of reps and different spoofing technologies. And it's that's answer the question why we really need different the drones on fiber optics. So we we have it too. Our company was made in 2023. And we started, like, from 10 drones per month. …
