Oleksii Hrebin, CEO of the Ukrainian company Motor-G, which produces electric motors for drones, shared this view in an interview with Ukrinform at the international defense exhibition SAHA 2026 in Istanbul.
“Four years ago, the demand for drones was only beginning to take shape. At that time, almost no one produced components. But as demand grew, drone manufacturers appeared, followed by component producers, and then subcomponent manufacturers. Step by step, a new production ecosystem for the defense industry is being formed,” Hrebin said.
According to him, Ukraine’s defense industry is moving beyond the model of simple assembly of finished products.
