Thank you.
There were 369 Russian airplanes flying that have been destroyed. Indeed, the protection of the sky is a huge issue, both for the military and civilians.
The honourable member Don Stewart was talking about drones. Drones and the drones that are using AI are now a game-changer. It's not the conventional war that you saw before. It's also war on technology, the drones and electronic warfare.
We've already created one of the first special parts of the forces that is called unmanned forces. We are actively using different types of drones: air drones, sea drones, or unmanned vehicles on the front line. Ukraine is now on the edge of this technological development. By the end of this year, we will be procuring for the Ukrainian armed forces one million drones of different types: small ones, long range, short range and surveillance drones. We are doing it because this is partly substituting for the lack of artillery and artillery shells. There are some parts of the front line that are controlled only by drones. Sometimes small drones that cost several thousand dollars can destroy a tank or an armoured vehicle. It is a new type of war.
What we also are offering and working with allies and with Canada on, and we see on our side a big potential, is co-operation in drone production. Today, Ukraine is a testing ground not only for drones but also for their usage against the strong Russian electronic warfare. It's not only to have a good drone. You need this drone to be able to fly, and it needs to withstand your enemy's electronic warfare. This is a big defence technology, a new era in the military where we believe we are on the front line, and we are ready to share our experience. We also we want to welcome more co-operation on this production so we can be leading together on this stage.
