THALES Belgium and a Ukrainian defence industry company have signed a memorandum of cooperation in the field of arms production. The agreement is to organise joint production of air defence equipment.
This was reported by the Ministry of Strategic Industries of Ukraine.
‘The signed memorandum provides for the joint production of missiles to counter enemy UAVs. In the future, we expect to expand cooperation to the transfer of technologies and equipment for the production of components of these weapons. I thank THALES for cooperation with the Ukrainian defence industry and for your help in the fight against the armed aggression of the Russian Federation,’ said Minister for Strategic Industries Herman Smetanin.
This joint production will allow to strengthen the protection of Ukraine’s critical infrastructure facilities in the shortest possible time, the Cabinet of Ministers said.
