These are new high technologies that will be of great help to Ukrainians, they assured Brussels.
The Belgian Council of Ministers approved a new package of military aid to Ukraine. These include 10 underwater drones and two mobile laboratories, Le Soir newspaper reported the day before, citing Defense Minister Ludivine Dedonder.
“These drones make it possible to detect all threats under the sea: both mines and spy equipment. These are new high technologies that will be of great help to them (Ukrainians). The Belgian army already have these devices. They will all be delivered to Ukraine by the end of May in several stages,” the minister said.
Also, Belgium will provide the Ukrainian military with mobile laboratories that can be “deployed near the site of a chemical, bacteriological, radiological or nuclear incident.”
The minister added that these laboratories can also be deployed in disaster areas where hospitals and maternity hospitals have been destroyed.
In addition, according to Dedonder, the Belgian military will begin training Ukrainian recruits in 18 different combat training courses. About 100 instructors will join the European military assistance mission in Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine).
Earlier, the media reported that Belgium sent mortars to Ukraine and a large batch of trucks.
In addition, Ukraine purchased M109 howitzers from the private Belgian company OIP Land Systems.
