Located just a few thousand kilometers from the front line, this is where the high-tech innovations are tested and made ready for battle.
At this hidden facility in the capital, Ukrainian engineers are building the feared Vampire drones, nicknamed "Baba Yaga" by the Russians.
Capable of carrying up to 15 kilos of explosive charges behind enemy lines, these drones are essential to Ukraine’s strategy. Here, workers test every detail, ensuring the drones can deliver six explosive charges at once.
As the war continues, Ukraine’s growing domestic drone production is becoming critical, with factories now capable of producing up to 5 million drones a year. The faster the production, the closer Ukraine gets to victory.
