The Defense Ministry of Ukraine has signed contracts for the supply of the second batch of Javelin made by the USA. This was announced by Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anatoliy Petrenko during a briefing on the State Defense Order and Defense Procurement for the needs of the Ukrainian military.
During the fourth quarter, due to the concentration of resources, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine managed to conclude contracts for the supply of the second batch of anti-tank missile systems Javelin manufactured by the USA. We also order similar missile systems from our national manufacturer. We have several artillery reconnaissance stations, about 100 armored vehicles of various types and armored vehicles, several planes. To say a few, I mean the fourth quarter resource. We are continuing to move towards providing troops with radio-electronic combat and electronic reconnaissance stations, Anatoly Petrenko said.
According to him, this year the Ministry of Defense has implemented three contracts.
Two contracts with the US Government for the Foreign Military Sales Program, and one contract with the NATO Support and Supply Agency. This allows the Ministry of Defense to use all resources available in the arms market - state national, non-state national, as well as foreign manufacturers and suppliers.
The Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine also stressed that the Defense Ministry is increasing the pace of supplying modern and new weapons and military equipment to the troops.
Of course, we need to maintain the technical capability of what we have, but it is important to keep up with the technological process. So, in 2019, troops received a significant number of different types of weapons and military equipment that are new. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that now there is an unmanned aerial vehicle of operational range, which can be used in shock version. We have an automated artillery management complex, and we also have a radar station for counter-battery fighting - this is all that was carried out within the framework of the state defense order by all participants of the process - customers, manufacturers and operators, Anatoly Petrenko informed.
