The UK Government has provided funds to supply Anduril Altius-600M and Altius-700M loitering munitions.
Anglo-American defence company Anduril has been awarded a £30 million (US$39 million) contract from the UK government for Altius-600M and Altius-700M loitering munitions which will be supplied to Ukraine.
The deal follows a meeting of world leaders in London last week, when UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and allies agreed to boost support for Ukraine.
The UK has already provided more than 10,000 drones to Ukraine’s Armed Forces, which have proved vital in disrupting Russian troop advances and targeting positions behind the front line.
In January, it was announced that 30,000 drones will be sent to Ukraine by the international Drone Capability Coalition, co-led by the UK and Latvia.
