UK will collectively produce state -of -the -art interceptor Drone to help Ukraine Fight Russian airstrikes.
Drone designed by Ukraine by Ukraine, with the support of UK scientists and technicians, is highly effective in destroying the aircraft of one-way attack Moscow, which continues to launch in Ukrainian cities according to the Ministry of Defense (MOD).
It comes when Russian drones violating the Polish airspace during the night attacks on Ukraine were shot by Poland and NATO.
Secretary of Defense John Hele On Thursday, the defense and security equipment in London will expand the project under a technology-sharing deal with Kiev at the DSEI trade show.
Prime Minister Kir Stamor Said: “as Russia Continues its egoistic and incredible attacks on Ukraine, the UK’s support will not falter, and we will continue to step with our colleagues.
“This new partnership is a historical moment, which brings the British and Ukrainian simplicity together to give state -of -the -art defense drone techniques to fight back against Russian aggression.
“By exploiting the strength of our world -class defense industry, we are helping Ukraine (Vladimir) to protect against Putin’s barbaric attacks, but we are also building, developing, and achieving our future.”
Mod said that the new drones have already proved useful against the Shahed drones used by Russia, and are much cheap to produce compared to traditional air defense missiles.
Sir Kir and President Volodimier Zelansky announced the UK-Ukraine Industrial Partnership in summer.
An expansion signed by the Defense Secretary in Kiev last week allows shared and joint development of intellectual property.
Mr. Hele said: “Through this groundbreaking industrial partnership with Ukraine, and our new defense industrial strategy, we are modifying our world-agar defense industry.
“We will innovate at the pace of a war, support the UK and Ukrainian security, and promote jobs in the UK here.
“The deal is the first of its kind, providing unprecedented access to the UK industry for the latest equipment designs, supports Ukraine in his fight to defend Putin’s illegal invasion and shows how there can be an engine for defense development because we distribute to our plan for change.”
Mr. Hele on Wednesday condemned Russia’s “careless” infiltration in the Polish airspace, after interacting with defense officials of Poland, Italy, France and Germany in London.
He said that he asked the UK armed forces to see NATO’s air defense options on Poland.
