A new project to manufacture Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles in Canada is being launched with the aim of strengthening defense-industrial cooperation.

According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the Ministry of Defense.

“The project involves launching the production of Ukrainian reconnaissance drones in Canada. The manufactured drones will be supplied to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Representatives of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Department of National Defense of Canada have signed a corresponding agreement,” the statement notes.

As part of the agreement, a new joint venture, Airlogix-Sentinel, is being established between the Ukrainian defense tech company Airlogix and the Canadian unmanned systems manufacturer Sentinel Research and Development.

The project, which will be implemented with the support of the governments of both countries, is intended to accelerate the supply of equipment to the Ukrainian Armed Forces for conducting reconnaissance and planning operations.
