Quotes

"Latvia is the co-leader - along with the United Kingdom – of a 'drone coalition' that has already sent more than 2,800 drones worth approximately 55 million euros to Ukraine."

"We very clearly defined the needs that were determined by the Ukrainian side and then the criteria was to pass the tests. The tests were in Latvia and then the testing took place in Ukraine. And there were less, so, let’s say, a portion that did not pass those tests, it is not rule out for the last call, that perhaps in a special application, sometimes there may be some adjustment, an adaptation phase,” says Defense Minister Andris Sprūds (Progressives)."

"Once unit needs one type of drone. Another unit needs another type of drone, others need a rental range, others need more cameras that can payload, it all depends on the tasks to each unit, in one unit the units will shift wildly."
