Ukraine has agreed to transfer anti-drone technologies to Poland. Kyiv and Warsaw have also discussed cooperation in ballistic missile defence.

Polish Deputy Minister of National Defence Cezary Tomczyk, who is visiting Ukraine, announced this on X.

According to the Polish official, the talks focused on military and industrial cooperation, as well as the transfer of defence technologies.

Tomczyk and Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Defence Serhii Boiev signed an agreement to establish Polish-Ukrainian working groups on drone and counter-drone technologies.

“We are finalising the transfer of Polish MiG-29s to Ukraine in exchange for access to Ukrainian drone and counter-drone technologies,” the Polish Defence Ministry representative said.

 

He also reported that the Polish delegation held talks with Deputy Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council Davyd Aloian.

Among the topics discussed was the development of systems to counter ballistic missiles. Tomczyk described this as one of the key priorities for the security of Poland and Europe. He noted that Ukraine faces daily threats from Russian Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missiles and North Korean KN-23 missiles.

The agreement could deepen defence cooperation between Ukraine and Poland. The transfer of counter-drone technologies could also help share Ukraine’s combat experience across Europe and strengthen joint capabilities to counter aerial threats.
