The United Kingdom plans to deliver 100,000 drones to Ukraine by April 2026 as part of a wider defence support package, according to government announcements.
The UK government has announced plans to supply 100,000 drones to Ukraine by the end of its financial year in April 2026. The commitment is part of a broader £4.5 billion defence assistance programme aimed at supporting Ukraine.
According to British officials, the £350 million drone initiative represents a significant expansion of previous efforts. Defence Secretary John Healey is expected to outline the plan during the Ukraine Defence Contact Group meeting in Brussels, which the UK is co-hosting alongside Germany.
In addition to drone deliveries, UK authorities confirmed the completion of previously pledged artillery shipments and announced a further £247 million in funding to support the training of Ukrainian personnel.
This announcement follows the UK's updated strategic defence review, which calls for investment in emerging military technologies. Officials state that the review reflects an intention to adapt to changing defence landscapes, including the use of unmanned aerial systems.
The UK continues to coordinate with allies on military support initiatives for Ukraine, which remain ongoing amid the conflict with Russia.
