Sweden joins the cooperation on unmanned aerial vehicles for Ukraine, also known as the International Drone Coalition.
This was announced by the press service of the Swedish Ministry of Defense.
Along with other countries, Sweden will support the Armed Forces of Ukraine with drones through joint purchases. The program may also include systematic training.
Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson signed the agreement to join the drone coalition on behalf of Stockholm at the NATO summit in Washington.
"Drones have become an important part of modern warfare and are crucial for Ukraine to be able to stop Russian attacks, primarily on the ground, and to gather information on the battlefield. Together with other countries, we will support Ukraine in the drone coalition through purchases, deliveries, and pilot training," he said.
The minister noted that Sweden's participation in the drone coalition adds important experience and knowledge for the development of Sweden's defense capabilities in this field.
Allied countries have united in the drone coalition to help Ukraine counter Russian aggression. One significant step in this direction was the creation of the drone coalition. This initiative involves the purchase and transfer of drones to Ukraine to strengthen its defense capabilities.
