Some Details of Joint Production of Drones Between Ukraine, the UK Revealed
This was stated by the British Ambassador to Ukraine Martin Harris in an interview with European Pravda.
“Drones should be manufactured in cooperation between defense industries of both our countries. Ukraine’s extensive experience in using drones is an advantage. The UK as well as other countries have great interest in which way we can cooperate in the production of drones, both here in Ukraine and in our countries,” the Ambassador said.

The diplomat also said that drones would be produced in both Ukraine and the UK.
Harris did not specify the number of drones, as the production process just only begins. It should also be noted that there are different classes of drones.
“I think this will be one of the most promising elements of our cooperation in the field of defense production,” the diplomat said.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that London would allocate 200 million pounds to produce various types of drones for Ukrainian militaries during his visit to Kyiv in January 2024.
Sunak noted that drones would help to strike russian forces as well as to push occupiers out of Ukraine, and they would also reduce the risks to Ukrainian exports in the Black Sea.
Earlier War Ukraine-Russia News Hub wrote that The UK Defense Intelligence had reported about surge of Ukrainian exports through new channel, defying russian blockade.
