The Defense Procurement Agency of the Ministry of Defense has signed contracts with Ukrainian companies for the purchase of drones, electronic warfare and communications equipment. This will contribute to the development of the national economy and increase the country's defense capabilities.
The Defense Ministry's procurement agency, AOZ, has signed a number of agreements with Ukrainian manufacturers of drones, electronic warfare and communications equipment. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Defense.
"The Defense Procurement Agency of the Ministry of Defense has signed a number of agreements with Ukrainian companies for the purchase of drones, electronic warfare (EW) and communications equipment. The agreements were signed during President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy's working visit to Kirovohrad region
Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Dmytro Klimenkov emphasized the importance of cooperation with Ukrainian manufacturers.
We deliberately emphasize products made in Ukraine. This not only increases our defense capabilities, but also contributes to the development of the national economy and job creation. Purchasing drones, electronic warfare and communications equipment from our manufacturers allows us to quickly receive the most modern equipment and be confident in its quality and compliance with the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
During the meeting, Klimenkov and the gunsmiths discussed the details and scope of the contract, as well as strategic areas of cooperation for the near future.
The Defense Procurement Agency continues to build effective cooperation with Ukrainian producers who want to arm our Armed Forces. Our constant advice to UAV and EW manufacturers is to provide their products to the military, collect and take into account feedback. Equipment that is in high demand on the battlefield quickly goes from being codified by the Ministry of Defense to being procured
It is noted that the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine continues to work on expanding cooperation with Ukrainian companies and plans to conclude new agreements in the near future that will further modernize the country's military capabilities.
