Norway and the UK will give Ukraine microdrones for combat in urban environments

This is stated in a statement by the Norwegian Ministry of Defense.

The cost will be up to NOK 90 million ($9.26 million). The package includes Black Hornet blocks, spare parts, transportation, and training. It said that this would be financed by a UK-led fund to which Norway has contributed NOK 400 million.

It is noted that the Ukrainian authorities asked for this type of equipment to combat the Russian invasion. This drone has several advantages. It is used for surveillance and targeting. In addition, this vehicle is easy to operate, rugged, difficult to detect, and particularly well suited to fighting in urban areas.

Also, Ukraine will purchase the Nightfighter anti-drone system from the British SteelRock Technologies. It protects drones by effective jamming. The system is particularly suited to protecting small patrols, artillery positions, and other critical assets.
