Ukraine: Unmanned Air Systems
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to support the (a) development and (b) deployment of drone technologies by Ukraine.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The UK is co-leading the Drone Capability Coalition (DCC) with Latvia, which will increase the quality and quantity of drones provided to Ukraine, including through a recent order of 30,000 drones.
Nationally, in the 2024-25 financial year, the UK delivered drones worth over £325 million to Ukraine, which included collaboration between UK and Ukrainian drone companies. This includes the co-development of drone technologies, for example; radios, alternative navigation methods, electronic warfare resistant GPS antennas.
