The UK is providing 120,000 drones to Ukraine in what the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said is the largest delivery of its kind.

Axar.az informs, citing BBC, that the package will include long-range strike drones, reconnaissance drones, logistics drones and those with maritime capabilities, with many produced by UK-based companies.

Delivery of the "cutting-edge battlefield technology" started this month, the MoD said.

"Ukrainians continue to fight with huge courage and nothing will distract us from continuing to stand with them for as long as it takes to secure peace," Defence Secretary John Healey said in a statement.
