The Dutch government has partnered with local firm DeltaQuad to supply intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance drones to Ukraine in its defense against Russia.
The initiative will equip warfighters with unarmed autonomous aerial systems to support effective monitoring and data collection across battlefields.
Drones to be distributed under this project will incorporate “modern” capabilities to deter enemy jamming attacks, ensure covert deployments, and maintain operations when signals from command and control are temporarily disconnected.
The acquisition with DeltaQuad costs 42.6 million euros ($46 million) and will be the “first concrete” execution to be administered under the “Drone Action Plan” for the Dutch and Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Announced in early October, the program will utilize approximately 400 million euros ($432.5 million) to jointly produce unmanned systems in both countries, modernizing their military assets while spurring economic growth in each nation.
