Made in Canada, designed in Ukraine, sent to front: New drone deal between Kyiv and Ottawa
Ukraine pairs its battle-tested drone technology with Canadian industry to build weapons for the front.
In a recent meeting, Ukrainian Security Chief Ihor Klymenko and Canada's National Security Adviser David Morrison discussed a new deal to build drones in Canada for Ukraine's military. The project, called Airlogix-Sentinel, aims to produce the drones in Canada and hand them over to Ukraine's Defense Forces. Klymenko emphasized the importance of this partnership to strengthen Ukraine's defenses through technological cooperation and expanding production lines.
The agreement between Ukraine and Canada also includes a $40 million contribution to a new Ukrainian veterans fund and agreements worth over $2 billion, including $1 billion in defense assistance.
Additionally, the two countries discussed the possibility of Canada joining FREYJA, a joint European project to build an anti-ballistic shield. Ukraine will contribute an interceptor missile and launcher, while partners will provide critical components such as radars and sensors. Ukraine aims to create a working prototype of the anti-ballistic system by the second quarter of 2027, and Canada has confirmed its readiness to support this initiative.
Klymenko briefed Morrison on the security situation in Ukraine, driven by the consequences of Russian strikes, and stressed the importance of stronger international support. He expressed gratitude to Canada's government and people for their steadfast backing.
