The 5 million figure refers specifically to FPV (First Person View) drones, not all types of drones.
The EU production comparison lacks specific data support - no authoritative source was found confirming the EU produces only 500,000 drones annually.
The 5 million capacity figure represents production capacity rather than actual output - actual production in 2024 was 2.2 million drones according to Zelensky.
The claim conflates production capacity with actual production figures.
The comparison between Ukraine and EU may not be comparing equivalent categories of drones (military vs. civilian, FPV vs. other types).
