"Ukrspecsystems' new factory is a vote of confidence in UK support and underlines the deepening cooperation between our nations' defence industries. This investment will create up to 500 new jobs in the East of England, drive defence as an engine for growth, and help Ukraine defend itself against Putin's aggression."
"The first Ukrainian drone production factory started operations in Suffolk on Wednesday, in a boost for Britain's defence industry. Ukrainian firm, Ukrspecsystems, has invested 200m into sites in Mildenhall and Elmsett, and is expected to create up to 500 British jobs at the locations and the wider UK supply chain."
Ukrspecsystems, a Ukrainian drone manufacturer founded in 2014, has launched its first production facility outside Ukraine in Suffolk, England, with operations beginning in Mildenhall and Elmsett. The company invested £200 million into these sites, expected to generate up to 500 jobs across the locations and the broader UK supply chain. UK Defence Minister Luke Pollard characterized the investment as a demonstration of confidence in British support and evidence of strengthened defence industry cooperation between the nations. The UK has previously ordered over 80 SHARK and Mini-SHARK drones from the company's Ukrainian factories. This expansion represents a significant milestone in the 100 Year Partnership framework established between the two countries.
