Norway is set to provide the Armed Forces of Ukraine with 1,000 Black Hornet reconnaissance drones.
The Norwegian Ministry of Defence announced this.
"Ukraine is highly satisfied with the previous Norwegian deliveries of this type of reconnaissance drone, ... and now we are providing Ukraine with 1,000 new drone sets," says Defence Minister Bjørn Arild Gram.
It is noted that the supply was announced at the request of the Ukrainian side. However, it is currently unknown within what timeframe they may be delivered.
The Norwegian department also highlights that Black Hornets are classified as nanodrones, given they weigh just 32 grams. These drones have over 40 customers worldwide, but the largest purchaser is the USA.
Background. Earlier, Mind reported that Norway planned to increase its military aid to Ukraine by nearly $240 million. The total value of support from the country will reach around $960 million.
