Decisive Battle Assets: The Largest French AAROK Drone Production Comes To Ukraine

Ukraine is developing its arms industry.

French AAROK unmanned aerial vehicles will be produced in Ukraine. The manufacturing company Turgis & Gaillard and Antonov Company signed an agreement, according to 24 Channel.

The UAVs are intended only for the Ukrainian Forces

The company must now agree on the details of further actions at the industrial and operational levels. It is expected that the first Ukrainian analogue of the French drone will be produced next year. The company noted that it was the Ukrainian side that chose the design of the drone.

Next, they should select a site for assembling the UAVs and decide what French and Ukrainian equipment is needed to complete the model.

Fanny Turgis, the head of the French manufacturing company, noted that the AAROK, which will produce the Antonov Company, will not be exported. It is intended only for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

How the AAROC can help at the front

This French drone has great endurance with its medium flying altitude. It can carry a variety of sensors and weapons depending on the mission. It was presented in June 2023.

- take-off weight – 5500 kilograms;

The manufacturing company says its drone could be a “decisive asset” in future battles.

The drone is capable of carrying weapons and providing air support, as well as adjusting fire on targets. The French UAV can be controlled from any place in the world thanks to a satellite communication channel.
