Canada to send Ukraine 450 SkyRanger drones
As part of an international coalition to equip the Ukrainian
military with modern UAVs, Canada will send Kyiv 450 SkyRanger multi-purpose
drones, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry reported on April 15.
SkyRanger is designed for surveillance and intelligence
gathering. These drones can also be used to transport and deliver cargo.
The message also said that Germany will provide Ukraine with
VECTOR 211 reconnaissance drones, and Lithuania has committed EUR 3 million ($3.2
million) to produce FPV (first-person view) drones for Ukraine.
The Netherlands has confirmed plans to purchase Heidrun
RQ-35 drones worth EUR 200 million ($213 million), together with Denmark and
Germany.
“The situation at the front changes daily; the enemy continues to attack civilian sites, especially targeting energy infrastructure,” said Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Kateryna Chornohorenko.
“We need tools for an asymmetric response. The time for discussing resolutions has passed; we need them now.”
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
