Germany and Ukraine plan to jointly develop drones with varying ranges, including systems capable of traveling up to 1,500 kilometers (930 miles).

Axar.az reports, citing The Kyiv Independent, that this was stated by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius during his visit to Kyiv.

He said that for Ukraine, "the development of long-range drones is of immense importance for striking back at Russian military infrastructure."

The German defense minister also pointed to Ukraine's extensive use of drones capable of overwhelming enemy air defenses — a capability "that NATO is also working intensively on."

Pistorius added that Berlin also plans to conduct a detailed study of Ukraine's DELTA battle management and situational awareness system in the second half of the year, exploring the possibility of integrating it or using specific components for the Bundeswehr's needs.
