Previously, suppliers of components for UAVs and EW had to process a full package of documents for codified products, which slowed down supplies to the front. Changes to the Cabinet of Ministers' Procurement Procedure remove these obstacles: now units can purchase both ready-made systems and individual components directly.
The Ministry of Defense explains that this will allow faster provision of necessary UAVs and EW equipment to units, increase the efficiency of supplies, and the combat capability of the Defense Forces. The new rules also support domestic manufacturers, while maintaining control and transparency of procurement.
