The Czech Republic has agreed with Denmark and the Netherlands that it will supply Czech weapons to Ukraine with their financial support.
Source. This was reported by Interfax-Ukraine with reference to the Czech Ministry of Defense.
Deputy Defense Minister Daniel Blažkovec signed a so-called letter of intent with the defense ministers of Denmark and the Netherlands within the framework of Ramstein.
"In particular, this will include the supply of additional tanks, howitzers, small arms, infantry fighting vehicles, air defense and electronic warfare equipment or ammunition from our defense industry," Blazhkovets explained.
Ukraine will tell the Czech Republic what it needs, Czech military-industrial companies will submit applications to the Defense Ministry to meet these needs, and the Defense Ministry will submit estimates to Denmark and the Netherlands.
The first step in the implementation of this agreement, signed at a regular meeting of the Ramstein Ukraine Allies Club, will be the delivery of 15 modernized T-72 tanks in the coming months. This was already announced by Denmark on Tuesday.
"This agreement will mean a huge benefit for the further development of the Czech defense industry and for the security of the Czech Republic as such. It will make Czech weapons manufacturers more competitive in the global market. At the same time, these will be projects with great economic benefits for the Czech Republic, including employment opportunities for our citizens," the Deputy Minister of Defense emphasized.
This is not the first project for the Czech Republic to supply weapons paid for by another state. As part of a trilateral project with the United States and the Netherlands, 45 (out of 90) modernized T-72 tanks have already been sent to Ukraine.
Background. Meanwhile, it has become known that Ukraine has rejected 10 Leopard 1s that were transferred by Germany.
