The first agreement signed by Thales concerns the creation of a joint venture that will be engaged in the production of electronic warfare systems, tactical communication equipment, and air defense radars and systems.

These technologies play a key role in modern military operations, ensuring protection and effective interaction on the battlefield.

Electronic warfare (EW) systems are a crucial element of modern weaponry.

They are designed to suppress and disrupt enemy communication and control systems, significantly reducing the enemy’s effectiveness.

In the context of increasing technological complexity of military conflicts, having advanced EW systems becomes ever more critical to ensuring the security and sovereignty of the state.

Additionally, as part of the second agreement, Thales and Ukraine will focus their efforts on further development and production of electronic warfare systems.

Deepening cooperation in this area will allow Ukraine not only to strengthen its defense capabilities but also to become a significant player in the international high-tech market.

The third agreement, signed with the Ukrainian company FRDM, which specializes in drones, provides for the joint development and production of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). UAVs are playing an increasingly important role in modern armed forces, providing reconnaissance, surveillance, and precise strikes on targets.

The joint venture between Thales and FRDM will create advanced drone models that will meet the highest international standards.

These agreements reflect Thales’ commitment to expanding its presence in the Ukrainian market and strengthening cooperation with local enterprises.

In turn, this opens new opportunities for Ukraine for technological development and modernization of its armed forces.

The creation of a joint venture and the implementation of joint projects with Thales will provide Ukraine with access to advanced technologies and the expertise accumulated by the French company.

This will allow the Ukrainian defense industry to reach a new level and equip the country’s armed forces with modern and effective means to protect national interests.

Thus, the conclusion of these agreements with Thales represents a significant step forward for Ukraine in the field of defense technologies and international cooperation.

In the face of global challenges and growing threats, such partnerships play a key role in ensuring stability and security.
