Britain will supply drones to Ukraine

Healy emphasized that aid provision must match the level of escalation by the adversary and cited specific volumes of support already delivered. Over the past six months, the United Kingdom has supplied Ukraine with 85,000 drones, according to the minister.

He also announced joint efforts to develop advanced interceptor drones, with plans to establish mass production upon completion and deliver 1,000 units to Ukraine each month.

The minister stressed that these measures are part of a broader international support package coordinated within the framework of "Ramstein."
