Ukraine and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have signed a collaboration agreement that brings together the defence industrial organisations of the two countries.
During a visit by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the UAE on 14 February, an agreement was signed by Ukraine’s UkrOboronProm and UkrSpecExport and the UAE’s Edge group. According to a statement by UkrOboronProm, the agreement will “facilitate the exchange and development of advanced technologies by the three parties, with the prospect of investments worth more than USD1 billion.”
An Edge Group spokesperson told Janes that the collaboration will cover the development of missile systems, aircraft engines, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over a five-year period.

All three parties will benefit from government-to-government and industrial partnerships that are designed to support our efforts in developing an agile defence and security industry”.
