Ethiopia has begun exploring its capacity to mass produce drones as it invests in manufacturing unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) for both civilian and military applications.

The Prime Minister of the East African country, Abiy Ahmed (Dr.), recently revealed that the manufacture of UAV drones is intended not only for local use but also for export.

On Saturday, the prime minister inaugurated Sky Wing Industry, a company that produces unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) for both commercial and military uses.

“Today, as we inaugurate Sky Win Aeronautics Industries, we recognize that the locally manufactured drones before us were unimaginable just a few years ago,” the prime minister stated via X.

While the drones are also intended for international trade, their primary function is to strengthen the country’s sovereignty and defense capabilities.

As per the announcement, the drones in question are meant to function efficiently at high altitudes and are outfitted with counter-drone capabilities to combat any airborne threats.

Also, the locally manufactured drones use powerful artificial intelligence (AI) technology to improve their operating efficiency, as seen on AddisInsight.

The drones are designed to be adaptable instruments for a range of tactical objectives given that they may conduct offensive, defensive, surveillance, and intelligence collecting activities.
