The Armed Forces of Ukraine will also be replenished with 20 partially unmanned modular vehicles Ermine CASEVAC, designed for the rapid evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield.
Separately, the Netherlands is investing 80 million euros in developing drone technology as part of an international drone coalition.
This is in addition to the already announced 20 million euros that the country has previously invested in this project.
This new package strengthens the previously announced €400 million in assistance aimed at ensuring Ukraine's maritime security.
In addition, contracts were recently signed with Ukrainian manufacturers for the supply of 600 thousand drones worth a total of 500 million euros.
“After the completion of the transfer of all 24 F-16 fighters to Ukraine, drones became the priority of our military assistance,” emphasized Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans.
Let us recall that Belgium previously announced the 26th aid package for Ukraine in the amount of €1 billion.
It included about 100 armored ambulances and Unimog transport vehicles, five unmanned sea vessels and other drones, more than 16,000 weapons and guns, 20 modernized Cerber-type anti-aircraft systems and other weapons and equipment.
