(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, Shmyhal announced this on Facebook.

“Ukraine and Norway will jointly produce Ukrainian drones. I signed the relevant document with Norway's Defense Minister Tore Sandvik. This is an important step that will allow us to scale up our capabilities and strengthen Ukraine's defense,” Shmyhal noted.

According to him, the next stage is to rapidly deploy a pilot production line in 2026 while simultaneously working on further expanding capacity.

“Ukraine will share its experience and innovations with Norway. In turn, we will receive a strong production base that will supply our soldiers with modern drones, as well as research and design cooperation with leading Norwegian institutions,” Shmyhal emphasized.

He thanked Norway for supporting Ukraine and added:“This project is an example of the cooperation we are building with our partners: cooperation that strengthens the defense capabilities of all countries of the free world.”
