Poland’s defense holding, Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ), plans to launch a project with a Ukrainian partner to jointly produce ground robotic systems.
Rafal Harmoza, director of PGZ’s International Cooperation Department, said this.
According to Harmoza, the Polish side is closely following the development of Ukrainian defense technologies that provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with an advantage on the battlefield. These include drone technologies, missile technologies and technologies related to electronic warfare.
He said that following the Ukraine Recovery Conference, which took place in Gdansk in late June, the Polish defense holding has continued to reach agreements with Ukrainian companies. In particular, PGZ is currently negotiating with a Ukrainian partner on a project involving ground robotic systems.
According to Harmoza, in August the parties signed a non-disclosure agreement with a potential Ukrainian partner, allowing them to exchange confidential information. The next step is expected to be a cooperation agreement.
“Such an agreement was signed in August, and we are now moving toward concluding a cooperation agreement. This will allow us to implement a specific, thoroughly developed project,” the PGZ representative said.
He added that the idea was to establish joint production with the Ukrainian side.
Harmoza noted that agreements with Ukrainian defense companies were largely shaped around Ukraine’s needs, following the principles of “Build with Ukraine” or “Build for Ukraine.”
At the same time, he stressed that Ukrainian defense industry companies were interested in establishing production facilities in Poland amid intensified Russian attacks on Ukrainian territory. (Ukrinform)
