This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
It is noted that 55% of the amount will go to Mavic-type drones, in particular those with night vision.
18% of the amount will be spent on the purchase of FPV kamikazes.
In addition, significant amounts of funding have been allocated for the purchase of reconnaissance UAVs, bombers, and spare parts kits for them.
«Thus, the instruction of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov was implemented in the shortest possible time, which will allow providing military formations with an additional volume of UAVs through decentralized procurement,» the report says.
It is also indicated that the brigades independently purchase what they need to perform combat missions. The drones will be immediately sent to the front.
It was previously reported that the Drone Coalition, which unites 17 partner countries, will allocate 1.8 billion euros to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
