Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has handed the modernized rapid patrol armored motor boat of UMC-1000 type to border guards in Mariupol (Donetsk region) and informed about the AEROS Ukrainian-U.S. designed system to detect, prevent and identify targets.

"One cannot come to the holiday with empty hands. Thus, the marines received the modernized rapid patrol armored motor boat," the president said in Mariupol.

The head of state said that the complex protection system of the state maritime borders and its maritime economic zone was being created.

"The renewed technical observation post "Mariupol" is the example of our progress in the issue. It is equipped with a modern system of early detection, prevention and identification of targets. We can find any air or water target. AEROS is the Ukrainian-U.S. solution made at one of the enterprises of Ukroboronprom," Poroshenko said.

"We are planning to install five more these complexes. They will be integrated into a single state data system of detection and analysis of water and air conditions in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, as well as in the basins of Dnipro and Danube rivers," he said.
