In Denmark, Ukraine has signed an agreement with U.S. based company Swift Beat LLC on Thursday (3 July) to establish a long-term strategic partnership focused on drone production.
Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umerov signed the agreement during an official visit with the Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as Denmark takes over the European Union presidency.
The deal includes provisions to expand the company’s production capacity, with modern drones to be supplied to Kyiv on a priority basis, under special conditions and at cost price.
"We have signed an agreement with the robust American company Swift Beat, and it foresees hundreds of thousands of drones this year alone, with the potential to significantly scale up production in the coming year," President Zelenskyy stated via a post on X.
"Interceptors to destroy enemy drones and missiles, quadcopters for reconnaissance and fire adjustment, and long-range strike drones — all of these will be produced in much greater numbers to help us achieve our defense goals and protect the lives of Ukrainians," the Ukrainian president added.
The company will manufacture interceptor drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to neutralize Russian UAVs and missiles, as well as quadcopters for reconnaissance, surveillance, fire correction, and logistics. In addition, medium-class strike drones will be produced to engage enemy targets.
The partnership also envisions the development of innovative technologies, including interceptors for cruise and ballistic missiles, automated defence turrets, and advanced reconnaissance platforms, said the Ukrainian President's press office.
According to the statement, Swift Beat LLC has a strong operational presence in Ukraine specialized in the production of autonomous, AI-powered drones and actively collaborates with Ukrainian military engineers in drone testing within Ukrainian territory.
