Britain is sending Ukraine a £752 million package that pairs 150,000 drones with more than 350 air defence missiles and radar systems. The package is built around Ukrainian-produced drones due by the end of 2026, with Martlet missiles and sensors intended to harden short-range air defence against Russian strikes.
The funding comes from the UK’s £2.26 billion Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration loan, backed by immobilized Russian sovereign assets. For the sector, the deal reinforces demand for distributed drone output, counter-UAS missiles and battlefield radar, while keeping Ukraine’s domestic production line in the procurement cycle.
