The US company Boeing and the Ukrainian company Antonov signed a memorandum of understanding a few days ago to examine possibilities for cooperation on defense-related projects.
“This agreement demonstrates our continued efforts to find more opportunities to work with Ukrainian industry, which was underscored by the signing of the Ukrainian Defense Industry Compact earlier this year,” said Ted Colbert, president and CEO of Boeing Defense, Space & Security. He added: “We look forward to continuing to work with Antonov to support Ukraine’s development and economic growth.” https://militaeraktuell.at/98-neue-faehnriche-fuer-militaerakademie/ The CEO of Antonov, Ievhen Gavrylov, also commented in a press release: “A strong, innovative and efficient defense industry is key to sustainable economic development and national security, and we are very pleased to be working with Boeing. This agreement opens up completely new opportunities for us to implement the latest and most effective solutions – in addition to the possibility of future projects with Boeing in the aerospace and defense industry.”
The areas of potential cooperation outlined in the agreement include training, logistical support and overhaul services for tactical unmanned aerial systems used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including the Boeing-produced ScanEagle. In addition, the companies will also explore ways in which Antonov can provide technical support to Boeing.
