Govt speeds upgrades of Ukrainian aircraft, helicopters for air defense – Svyrydenko
Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers has approved a decision allowing faster retrofitting of aircraft and helicopters with weapons and other equipment for combating air targets, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said.
"The government has approved a decision that allows aircraft and helicopters to be upgraded more quickly for the needs of modern warfare. It is now possible to install weapons, communications, navigation and target detection systems without lengthy approvals. The entire process will be shortened to one month," she said on Telegram.
According to her, not only enterprises but also specialists and military units will be involved in the work.
"This will make it possible to respond more quickly to new threats and strengthen our military's ability to repel air attacks. We must change quickly and adapt our procedures to the challenges of war," the prime minister said.
