Poland sends unmanned aircraft system to Ukrainian border guards

Border guards of the 7th Carpathian Border Detachment have received from Poland a state-of-the-art unmanned aviation system, which will be used to counter illegal activity on Ukraine's western border and to perform missions as part of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

According to Ukraine's State Border Guard Service, the assistance was provided within the framework of a national investment project under an intergovernmental agreement between Ukraine and Poland.

The system includes ten high-tech drones equipped with modern cameras for reconnaissance and surveillance.

Thanks to their low acoustic signature, the drones can operate effectively at high altitudes without being detected.

According to the State Border Guard Service, the equipment will be used by units to counter unlawful activities along the western border, as well as to carry out combat and special tasks within the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

"The equipment we have received significantly enhances the effectiveness of our servicemen. We are sincerely grateful to Poland for this support and for helping strengthen our defense capabilities," said Colonel Oleh Trofymenko, commander of the 7th Carpathian Border Detachment.
