**German Company Opens Facility in Ukraine**
A German company called Quantum Systems has opened a facility in Ukraine to make advanced drones. The company was at a meeting with Ukrainian officials on February 14th in Munich, Germany.
Ukraine needs more weapons to fight against Russia, and the country is trying to make its own drones and import them from other countries. Quantum Systems started helping Ukraine by providing drones after Russia’s invasion of the country in 2022.
The company has promised to deliver 500 advanced reconnaissance drones to Ukraine by the end of this year. It also operates a research center and a facility where it fixes and develops drones in Ukraine.
A Ukrainian government official said that Quantum Systems is a good example of making things locally, which means creating jobs and products in Ukraine.
In September, Ukraine created a separate branch of its military focused on unmanned systems like drones. This new branch will have special units that work with drones and improve their production and training.
