Moldova plans to launch domestic drone production to meet critical national needs, requiring parliament to amend current legislation that bars such industrial activity, Parliament Speaker Igor Grosu announced.

**Legislative adjustments for domestic capacity**

Speaking on Realitatea TV, Grosu emphasized that the government is focusing on fulfilling internal demand rather than producing unmanned aerial systems for export.

*“We have such plans,”* said Grosu. *“The role of parliament is to amend legislation to permit this economic manufacturing activity, because the current legal framework does not allow it.”*

The parliament speaker dismissed suggestions that Moldova intends to produce drones for foreign markets, reiterating that safeguarding domestic requirements remains the immediate priority.

*“We will do this for ourselves, to ensure our own needs,”* said Grosu. *“Someone was speculating yesterday that we are doing this to export. If we only had enough for ourselves, we would cover our own needs.”*

**Dual-use and airspace security**

Grosu noted that the manufactured units would not be limited to military applications. The systems would also support emergency operations, search-and-rescue missions, and precision agriculture.

*“It is not solely about defense,”* said Grosu. *“These devices are used in exceptional situations, when searching for lost or injured citizens, and in agriculture and many other fields.”*

President Maia Sandu previously highlighted the necessity of manufacturing interceptor drones and anti-drone defenses locally, following recurring violations of Moldovan airspace by Russian reconnaissance and strike drones near the Ukrainian border.
