A portion of the production will be allocated to Ukraine, while the remaining part will enhance Greece’s military arsenal. The partnership will result in the construction of various types of unmanned surface vessels, with Ukraine currently producing 15 different models.

The process will also involve Greek companies in the production of electronic and optical systems, sensors, and, if necessary, explosives for the marine drones. The new unmanned vessels will be an upgraded version of the ones already tested in Ukrainian battlefields. If the project progresses successfully, Ukraine and Greece will also discuss further expanding cooperation in the field of unmanned underwater vehicles.

Earlier, it was reported that Ukraine secured a new gas supply route with Greece to bolster its energy security ahead of the winter season.
