Ukraine’s direct participation in the exercises is part of the NATO-Ukraine Roadmap for Innovative Cooperation, approved by the parties at the summit in Washington in July 2024.
NATO exercises to test anti-drone systems will continue in the Netherlands from September 10 to 20, in which representatives of Ukraine took part for the first time. This was reported by the NATO press service.
NATO’s annual Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems Interoperability Exercise (C-UAS TIE) brought together more than 450 participants from 19 NATO countries and three partner countries.
“More than 60 counter-drone systems and technologies, such as sensors, drone-to-drone guidance systems, jammers and cyber interceptors, have been tested in real-world conditions,” the report said.
Ukraine’s direct participation in the exercises is part of the NATO-Ukraine Roadmap for Innovative Cooperation, approved by the parties at the summit in Washington in July 2024.
The press service added that the integration of anti-drone technologies into NATO’s Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) is important to strengthen the Alliance’s deterrence and defense.
We remind you that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed the irreversible movement of Ukraine towards NATO membership and noted the importance of introducing appropriate reforms in the country.
Poland also recently hosted the first high-level meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Center (JATEC), the first joint NATO-Ukraine institution to strengthen defense capabilities and accelerate entry into Alliance.
