The statement states that this year the country has invested £ 600 million, which is almost $ 800 million in order to accelerate the supply of drones for the Armed Forces.
It is noted that tens of thousands of FPV-aules have been sent to Ukraine, which are now decisive on the line of fire.
“We have to respond to the dangerous Escalation of Putin in Ukraine and throughout Europe and the increase in the production of drones and the intensification of NATO’s air defense,” said the UK Defense Minister John Gili, commenting on UAV updated data.
It is noteworthy that Kyiv and London also signed an agreement that provides for the production of Ukrainian drones-interceptors in the United Kingdom. This Agreement was a continuation of the development of industrial cooperation.
The Coalition for Countering Learnings, headed by the United Kingdom and Latvia, also uses money from a number of countries to purchase modern drones-interceptors to protect against Iranian UAVs like Shahd.
“The interceptors are currently testing on the battlefield, and it is expected that a coalition to counteract drones in the near future will conclude new contracts for supplying Ukraine additional equipment, including about 35,000 new interception systems over the coming months,” the Britain’s government said.
Cooperation between Ukraine and BritainEarlier, UNIAN reported that the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Denis Shmigal reported that Ukraine and the United Kingdom had signed a document on partnership in the field of technology for the battlefield. Shmigal added that countries have agreed to create a working group that will coordinate joint projects within Lyra. Its purpose is to strengthen the defense capability of both countries by combining Ukrainian and British defense-industrial and scientific potential.
We also wrote that the British Ministry of Defense reported that Ukraine had received hundreds of missiles for air defense against them. It is noted that this happened 5 months earlier. The British Office noted that the latest stage of the agreement in the amount of £ 1.6 billion will allow further integration of these effective missiles into Ukraine’s air defense system. This year, Britain will spend 4.5 billion pounds for Ukraine’s military support, which is more than ever before.
