Drones which will be used by the Ukrainian military are due to be built as part of a £200m investment in the UK, creating 500 jobs.
Ukrspecsystems, described as the biggest drone manufacturing company in Ukraine, will use an existing building in Mildenhall, Suffolk, to produce the unmanned aircraft.
There will also be a training and testing facility established at Elmsett Airfield, near Ipswich, with work on producing the drones starting early next year.
The firm said the investment would mean “500 jobs directly and in the supply chain” and would include apprenticeships.
