Swedish Defense Minister Paul Jonson said that his country plans to purchase Polish-made drones for Ukraine. He said this in an interview with Rzeczpospolita, reports UNN.
I visited WB Group, and you have truly impressive drone capabilities, you are very innovative. But we need to have a more balanced relationship in terms of arms purchases between Poland and Sweden, so in our current aid package to Ukraine, we have reserved funds for purchases from the Polish defense industry. Since you are closer to the front, you have unique knowledge
– said Paul Jonson.
He did not specify which types of drones would be ordered from WB Group for Ukraine. It is also unknown what the potential cost of the order and its volume will be.

Meanwhile, the Polish publication Defence 24 writes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine use both Warmate strike UAVs and FlyEye reconnaissance UAVs manufactured by WB Group. The latter are widely used both in the defense of the territory of Ukraine and in operations in Russia, including in the Kursk and Belgorod regions.
These systems have proven their usefulness by firing, in particular, against: HIMARS systems for command posts, concentrations of manpower or air defense and electronic warfare systems.
