Quote: "It seems this is one of the @BackAndAlive largest drone deals. Once, we could only dream about billion-hryvnia projects. And before that, we did not even dream of them. But if you work hard and set ambitious goals, everything is possible. These roughly 16,000 excellent Ukrainian drones will deliver a tangible result on the battlefield and in the tactical depth."

Details: According to a document published by Chmut on X (Twitter), the agreement covers three batches of drones with a combined value of UAH 1.37 billion excluding VAT. Deliveries are scheduled to be completed by 15 June 2026.

The largest contract is worth more than UAH 804.8 million (US$18.17 million), while the other two batches are valued at UAH 400.4 (US$9.13) million and UAH 165.3 million (US$3.73 million) respectively.

The specific drone models included in the agreement have not been disclosed. However, in replies to his post, Chmut clarified that they are not interceptor drones.

Background: Earlier, the Come Back Alive Foundation handed over 15 mobile command posts for unmanned aerial systems to Ukrainian troops.
