It comes after an extra £190m was announced for the UK-led International Fund for Ukraine following fresh pledges from allies. Defense Secretary John Healy announced the drone transfer along with Latvian Defense Minister Andris Spruds during a Ukrainian defense contact group held at Ramstein Air Base.
The Drone Capability Coalition supports Ukraine with unmanned means of surveillance and attack. Funding for the new 30,000 drones comes from the UK, Denmark, the Netherlands, Latvia and Sweden.
These state-of-the-art unmanned aerial vehicles with a first-person view will help Ukraine combat Russian aggression by allowing the Armed Forces to bypass Russian air defense assets to target enemy positions and armored vehicles.
As ArmiyaInform reported, Ukraine and Great Britain discussed the conclusion of a bilateral agreement on strengthening partnership.
