Britain is also providing long-term support to Ukraine by purchasing more than twenty remote-controlled anti-drone turrets from Estonia, which will be delivered in 2026.
“These new systems, designed specifically to combat Shahed-type attack drones on a large scale and at a lower cost, are an important part of Ukraine’s future defense capabilities,” the statement said.
