Ukraine could offer partners new technologies to intercept jet-powered drones – Budanov

Countries that have active agreements with Kyiv on cooperation in the field of unmanned systems could negotiate access to Ukraine’s latest technologies for countering Russia’s new jet-powered drones.

Ukrainian President Kyrylo Budanov has revealed that the country could offer its advanced interception technology to international partners, according to a report by Ukrinform. The technology, which has already been utilized in combat, aims to intercept Russian jet-powered drones, primarily Shahed drones. Budanov emphasized that Ukraine is working diligently to increase production before the harsh winter months set in, as production is the main challenge in deploying the technology effectively.

Budanov clarified that the focus is not on any particular product, but rather on the principle of cooperation between nations on similar technologies. When questioned about the potential integration of Ukraine's latest technologies, including interception methods for jet-powered UAVs, into agreements with European countries, Budanov stated that those who have already established such agreements with Ukraine have the right to continue negotiations on specific products.

Budanov expressed optimism that Ukraine would successfully meet the required production levels before the most challenging period of the upcoming winter. This information aligns with reports from President Volodymyr Zelensky, who had previously emphasized the acceleration of interceptor production to counter Russian jet-powered drones.
