The competition will select manufacturers who can provide drones on a large scale and at an affordable price.
The UK and Latvia announced a tender for the purchase of attack drones for Ukraine as part of the Drone Capability Coalition for Ukraine program, the press service of the UK Ministry of Defense reported.
The competition will select manufacturers who can provide drones on a large scale and at an affordable price. The competition is open to representatives of any country that is part of the Contact Group for the Defense of Ukraine.
Companies must submit their proposals by June 28.
After receiving positive feedback on the use of the provided drones, the manufacturer will receive large orders for FPV drones in the future.
After the first tender, additional ones are planned.
“FPV drones have proven highly effective on the battlefield following Russia’s massive offensive, providing their operators with situational awareness and the ability to effectively engage enemy positions and armored vehicles,” said report.
Let’s add that the participants in the “drone coalition” are Great Britain, Latvia, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and Ukraine. Other countries are considering joining the coalition.
Let’s recall that Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani confirmed that Italy will provide Ukraine with a second SAMP/T battery capable of shooting down ballistic missiles.
