Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans has said that the Netherlands is buying mobile radars for Ukraine, which will be delivered by the end of the year.
Brekelmans wrote about this on the social network X.
‘Russia is shamelessly attacking with drones. Reliable air defence is vital. That is why we are purchasing 51 mobile radars for Ukraine. The supplier of these radars is the Dutch company Robin Radar Systems. They will be in Ukraine this year,’ the statement said.
The website of the Dutch Ministry of Defence notes that the systems are capable of detecting small drones and distinguishing them from birds. A unique feature of the radars is that they operate on a mobile platform.
Later this year, the Dutch Ministry of Defence will transfer these systems to Ukraine.
The radars monitor the environment for the presence of drones, even at high speed.
