Drone Coalition Calls for Increased Funding and New Allies

The Drone Coalition urges additional funding to further its goals and invites new allies and partners to join its efforts.

The group has announced plans to supply a wide range of drones to Ukraine to support its military success.

“We, the nations of the Drone Coalition, recognize the importance of supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s aggression,” stated the joint announcement.

The coalition aims to provide Ukraine with drones and components produced by the industries of UDCG countries and seeks ways to support Ukrainian manufacturers. This will ensure the Ukrainian Defence Forces have the most effective capabilities.

Coalition members have already delivered significant drone support to Ukraine. Latvia is offering a drone testing training range for industry and military use to continuously improve drone technology. Additionally, the coalition has launched an industry competition for first-person view (FPV) drones, with 265 bids received and evaluations underway. The first contracts are expected to be signed in August.
