Ukraine announced Tuesday it had signed “drone deals” with three more European countries, further capitalising on the expertise it has developed in drone warfare since Russia’s invasion.
The deals are custom to each country, but typically involve Kyiv providing blueprints for drone technology in exchange for royalties, investments and other military hardware.
In seperate statements on Facebook, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced he had signed agreements with Estonia, the Netherlands and Denmark at a NATO summit in the Turkish capital Ankara.
The drone deals create “new opportunities for joint production, the development of innovative defense technologies, systematic exchange of expertise, and the export of Ukrainian battlefield-proven solutions,” Zelensky said.
