Baltic States Assemble Drones for Ukraine, Boosting Local Jobs and Defense
The Baltic States, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, are playing a crucial role in supporting Ukraine's war effort. They are assembling drones for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in small, scattered workshops across the region.
The drone assembly process involves components sourced from Germany and France, while the schematics and assembly protocols are provided by Ukraine. This collaborative effort has brought employment opportunities to the local population in the Baltic States.
The European Union is funding this drone production as part of its support for Ukraine. However, due to the ongoing conflict, Ukraine's control over these funds is limited. Meanwhile, key players in the drone production scene include Estonian company DefSecIntel and Latvian company Origin Robotics. Together, they are working on a defense system called 'Eirshield'.
The Baltic States' drone assembly initiative is providing jobs for locals while aiding Ukraine's defense efforts. EU funding supports this project, with key players like DefSecIntel and Origin Robotics contributing to the development of advanced defense systems like Eirshield.
