Ukraine is set to receive air defence missiles from the Estonian company Frankenburg Technologies for testing. Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence says the first samples for trials will arrive within the coming months.
The deal was discussed in Kyiv during a meeting between Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Defense, Brigadier General Anatolii Klochko, and Frankenburg Technologies’ leadership. The missiles to be tested by Ukraine are designed primarily to counter drones and can target objects at altitudes of up to 2 km.
Frankenburg Technologies’ CEO, Kusti Salm said that if the trials are successful and further use is agreed upon, production of the missiles could be established in Ukraine.
Deputy Minister of Defense for Ukraine Anatolii Klochko spoke of the nation’s need to have a broad arsenal of missile weapons and urged foreign manufacturers to provide such systems to Ukraine and to test it in combat conditions.
“We are open to collaboration and ready to utilise various models of modern weaponry,” said the Deputy Minister.
