According to Deputy Minister of Defense for Digitalization Kateryna Chernogorenko, this initiative is designed to create a technological advantage over the enemy in the long term.

The Drone Coalition was founded in February 2024 during the 19th Ramstein meeting, initiated by Latvia and coordinated by the United Kingdom. Since then, Ukraine has received thousands of drones from partner countries.

It is planned to purchase between 20,000 and 30,000 additional drones with the 50 million euros accumulated within the Coalition. In September, Ukrainian manufacturers were given the opportunity to participate in international tenders for the supply of FPV drones and interceptor drones.
