Ministry of Defense Expands the Army of Drones Bonus: Military Personnel to Receive Electronic Warfare Equipment.
Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal announced that within the framework of the 'Army of Drones Bonus' program, military personnel can receive electronic warfare equipment. According to him, supplies are delivered through the Ministry of Defense's digital system, DOT-Chain Defence — directly from the manufacturer to the front.
Equipment for Protection at the Front
According to inkorr.com: Shmyhal also emphasized that previously, within the framework of this program, military personnel could receive FPV drones and bombers, and now they have access to new equipment for protection at the front.
Initial Contracts with Ukrainian Manufacturers
The Defense Procurement Agency of the Ministry of Defense has already signed the first contracts with Ukrainian manufacturers for the supply of electronic warfare equipment, and some of the equipment has already been delivered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Minister noted that this approach allows military personnel to independently determine the needs of their units and quickly receive the necessary equipment.
Financial Results of the Program
According to Denys Shmyhal, within the framework of the 'Army of Drones Bonus' program, equipment worth 500 million hryvnias has already been delivered, and the total amount of orders is 2 billion hryvnias.
This step demonstrates a serious approach to strengthening the defense capability and security of the country. Military personnel are receiving the necessary equipment for protection in combat zones, including electronic warfare means, which enhances the effectiveness of their actions at the front.
