UK contracts $115 million worth of air defense equipment for Ukraine

This was reported by Sky News.

The largest contract for 56 million pounds was signed by the British Ministry of Defense with the Norwegian defense company Kongsberg. It provides for the provision of anti-drone systems that Ukraine can use to detect, track, destroy and disrupt the operation of Russian UAVs.

Among other things, it is the CORTEX Typhon system, the delivery of which was announced by the Norwegian manufacturer earlier this week.

The other two deals also relate to air defense, but the British Ministry of Defense did not provide more specific details about them.

It is noted that the agreements were concluded within the framework of the International Fund for Ukraine (IFU), which has so far raised more than £770 million to provide lethal and non-lethal military support to Ukraine.

• Earlier today, on August 17, it was reported that Ukraine received another package of military aid from Germany, which included, among other things, air defense systems, namely IRIS-T launchers and almost 5,000 smoke munitions.
