According to Fedorov, the parties agreed on a new large-scale cooperation package worth \u20ac4 billion, which includes hundreds of missiles for the Patriot air defence system, as well as deep-strike and mid-strike drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fedorov also noted that he had secured \u20ac300 million in investments to enhance Ukraine\u2019s long-range strike capabilities, enabling increased production of Ukrainian deep-strike systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, under the Build with Ukraine initiative, the two countries are launching joint production of AI-enabled mid-strike drones. \u201cAt the first stage, 5,000 drones will be delivered to the Defence Forces,\u201d Fedorov wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-left wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/2026\/04\/quantum-systems-wiy-tencore\/\"><strong>Read more:<\/strong> Quantum Systems to launch two joint ventures with Ukrainian companies WIY and Tencore<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Zelensky unveils a new Ukrainian air defence missile<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On 13 March, the Office of the President of Ukraine released a video in which Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated employees of the defence-industrial complex on their professional holiday. The video showcased numerous examples of domestically produced weapons. Analysts from Defence Blog drew particular attention to a new Ukrainian missile for air defence systems<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the publication, the missile\u2019s appearance in the video suggests that Ukraine\u2019s programme to develop indigenous air defence systems has moved beyond concepts and mock-ups. Analysts speculate that the footage may have revealed an industrial prototype of the Koral missile project, which has so far remained undisclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0412\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0434\u0438\u043c\u0438\u0440 \u0417\u0435\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0432\u0456\u0442\u0430\u0432 \u043f\u0440\u0430\u0446\u0456\u0432\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0456\u0432 \u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u043d\u043e-\u043f\u0440\u043e\u043c\u0438\u0441\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043a\u043e\u043c\u043f\u043b\u0435\u043a\u0441\u0443 \u0437 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0444\u0435\u0441\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0438\u043c \u0434\u043d\u0435\u043c\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Br_kdXR-sk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authorities have not yet revealed the official name of the system, technical specifications, or engagement range. However, based on earlier presentations, experts believe the missile belongs to the medium-range air defence class, capable of engaging targets at distances of 30 to 50 km. It is intended to protect military formations, infrastructure, and rear facilities from enemy aircraft, cruise missiles, and certain types of drones. In the future, these systems are expected to replace the Buk and S-300PT Soviet-era air defence systems in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Koral programme remains highly classified, and it is currently unknown whether the weapon has undergone combat testing or entered serial production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>David Aloyan discusses arms exports with Forbes<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Interagency Commission on Arms Exports has reviewed more than 200 applications from domestic manufacturers, according to David Aloyan, Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council (NSDC) and a member of the commission.
