Addis Ababa, February 29, 2025 (FMC) – Ethiopia has built the capacity not only to manufacture and use drones but also to export them to international markets, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (Dr.) has announced.

The Prime Minister inaugurated Sky Wing Industry, a company engaged in the production of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) for both civilian and military applications.

During the inauguration, he highlighted that the establishment of this industry is part of Ethiopia’s broader efforts to enhance its technological self-sufficiency, particularly in security and defense sectors.

The drones manufactured by the company are expected to strengthen Ethiopia’s sovereignty and defense capabilities significantly.

According to the announcement, these drones are designed to operate efficiently at high altitudes and come equipped with counter-drone systems to neutralize potential aerial threats.
