Kiev has used both drones to attack airports and unmanned boats to attack ships and bridges connecting Crimea. “I think that the production of drones in Ukraine will increase dramatically,” Mr Reznikov, who is due to be sacked, told the state news agency Ukrinform.
He said one reason for the growth in production was that the government had eased many regulations and laws.
Ukraine relies heavily on Western supplies of modern weapons, but Kiev has pledged not to use them on Russian territory. It says attacks on Russian territory have been carried out mainly with domestically produced weapons.
Russia's Defense Ministry said on Friday it had destroyed a total of 281 Ukrainian drones over the past week, including 29 in western regions of Russia, indicating the weapon's growing use.
Ukraine has attacked several airports deep inside Russian territory, central Moscow and military bases in Crimea as well as areas near the Ukrainian border.
