The French company Turgis & Gaillard has signed an agreement with Antonov on the joint production of a smaller and cheaper version of the Aarok MALE drone. The agreement was signed during the visit of French Defence Minister Sébastien Lecorne to Kyiv on 28 September.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by the LaTribune.
Fanny Turgis, President and Founder of Turgis & Gaillard, said that the drone "should take off in Ukraine next year".
According to her, after signing the agreement, the Ukrainian and French parties must agree on all subsequent actions at the industrial and operational level to start producing the drone.
Turgi said that they need to decide on a place to assemble the drone and decide which French and Ukrainian equipment to choose for Aarok.
The company's president also stressed that the UAV to be produced by Antonov will not be exported. The drone is intended only for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
