During the visit of Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Jordan, strategic agreements were reached in the field of defense technologies for a period of 10 years. Ukraine for the first time enters the market not just with the sale of weapons, but with the export of comprehensive expertise and entire protection systems, the President of Ukraine said during a briefing, informs the portal PromPolitInform.
The main achievement of the visit, the President noted the transition to strategic cooperation in the direction of MilTech:. Ukraine is ready to supply partners with not only interceptor drones, but also full lines of defense, software and electronic warfare (EW) systems. Separately confirmed the agreement on sea drones.
Ukraine’s goal is not just to sell drones, but to export expertise as well… It was the expert groups that went and shared their experience. And we are very grateful to the leaders of the Middle East, the military. We have not only the expertise of a layered system, but also the experience of unblocking sea trade routes, “Zelensky said.
He stressed that the Ukrainian experience of unblocking the Black Sea corridor can be used by partners to resolve the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, where Ukraine is ready to provide its technological expertise.
