The American corporation Boeing and the Ukrainian airline company "Antonov" agreed to cooperate in the field of military projects, including the repair of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). This was announced by the press service of the American company.
"We are pleased to continue cooperation with the company "Antonov" to support the economic growth and development of Ukraine. This new agreement demonstrates our continued efforts to seek additional opportunities to engage with Ukrainian industry,” said Ted Colbert, head of Boeing's Defense, Space and Security Division, quoted in a company statement.
The bilateral MoU includes logistics and repair services for UAVs, including ScanEagle, that use APUs. “This agreement opens up a whole new level of opportunity to introduce the latest and most efficient solutions in addition to future joint projects with Boeing in the space and defense industry,” said Antonov, CEO of the company.

The Russian side has repeatedly emphasized that sending weapons from the West to Ukraine and helping to train the Ukrainian army only prolongs the conflict and does not change the situation on the battlefield.
