The Ministry of Defence has signed a memorandum of understanding with Diehl Defence, the manufacturer of the IRIS-T system, which is an important part of Ukraine's air defence shield.

I am grateful to Diehl Defence for their trust and willingness to cooperate. It is important that the world's leading defence companies are taking a step towards Ukraine. The free world is on our side, and together we are opening up new opportunities to strengthen our defence. We continue to develop the Ukrainian defence industry and integrate it into the European ecosystem," the minister said.
