The signing ceremony took place during a demo day at TAF Industries, which was attended by Ukrainska Pravda. During the event, the company showcased its developments and how the systems could be deployed.

TAF Industries CEO Volodymyr Zinovskyi said: "By combining our operational experience and battle-tested technologies with Summa's capabilities to scale production, we are creating a powerful alliance to strengthen the military potential of both Ukraine and Finland."

At Summa Defence, the partnership is described as a strategic combination of Finnish engineering expertise and Ukrainian battlefield innovation.

Summa Defence co-founder Jussi Holopainen said: "By scaling the production of battle-proven Ukrainian technologies in Finland, we are not just increasing volumes – we are building a resilient defence ecosystem for both Northern Europe and Ukraine."

TAF Industries specialises in the production of drones and electronic warfare systems. This is not the company's first international agreement: it previously signed a partnership with Germany's Wingcopter to launch joint production in Germany.
