Ukraine starts cooperation with leading German manufacturer of missile systems Deutschland
Possibility of cooperation on air defence systems and concepts, in particular for countering drones, will be explored
Ukrainian Defence Industry, a joint-stock company that unites Ukrainian defence industry enterprises, has announced the signing of a memorandum of cooperation with MBDA Deutschland, a leading European missile systems development and manufacturing company.
"The document envisages joint study of programmes or opportunities for cooperation on air defence systems and concepts, in particular for countering UAVs. Potential areas of partnership include research, development, production, investment, etc.", the statement said.
Kyiv has stepped up efforts to increase domestic and joint arms production with partners amid depleting stockpiles in the West, missed delivery dates and political disagreements over further military support, Reuters notes.
"This agreement is an important milestone in the relationship between the defence industries of our countries," said Thomas Gottschild, Managing Director of MBDA Deutschland, "I look forward to working with Ukroboronprom, a leading player in the European defence industry."
