Ukraine has agreed to provide Warsaw with the counter-drone technology it needs, Defence24 reports, citing Polish Deputy Defence Minister Cezary Tomczyk.

Tomczyk announced the agreement after meetings with Ukrainian officials in Kyiv. He and Ukraine’s Deputy Defence Minister Serhii Boiev signed an agreement to set up joint Polish-Ukrainian working groups on drone and counter-drone technology.

It has not yet been specified which technologies will be shared or how the working groups will operate. Separately, Poland and Ukraine are finalising an arrangement under which Polish MiG-29s will be transferred to Ukraine in exchange for access to Ukrainian drone and counter-drone technology.

Ukraine and Poland are also discussing cooperation within the Freyja anti-ballistic missile coalition. Poland joined the initiative in September and is ready to strengthen it with what Tomczyk called high-quality P-18PL radar systems.
