Ukraine will direct $1.6B of US funds for the purchase of domestic weapons and will order hundreds of German Vector UAVs.

As reported by the parliamentary committee on foreign policy, of the planned $60.8B in aid to Ukraine allocated by the US, $1.6B is planned to be spent on purchasing Ukrainian-produced weapons. Considering security aspects, it is also about creating joint defense enterprises, which will be in Ukraine or in neighboring countries.

Also, $23B will go to replacing weapons procured from American warehouses. American manufacturers will receive orders totaling this amount. Another $13B will be spent on the purchase of state-of-the-art weapons, and not only from US manufacturers.

As well, Ukraine sent a purchase request for 812 more Vector reconnaissance drones manufactured by Quantum-Systems GmbH. The company has already delivered 210 Vector systems to Ukraine. More than 500 are planned to be delivered by the end of the year.
