Ukraine and Swift Beat Sign Memorandum to Expand Production of Unmanned Systems

In Denmark, in the presence of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine’s Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov and Swift Beat, LLC CEO Eric Schmidt signed a memorandum on a long-term strategic partnership.

The document provides for expanding the company’s production capacity, with modern drones to be supplied to Ukraine on a priority basis, under special terms and at cost price.

Thanks to this partnership, the number of essential unmanned systems will increase significantly. This includes hundreds of thousands of drones this year, with further volume growth planned for 2026.

The company will produce interceptor drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to destroy Russian UAVs and missiles, quadcopters for reconnaissance, surveillance, fire adjustment, and logistics, as well as medium-class strike drones for engaging enemy targets.

Development of new innovative solutions is also planned — including interceptors for cruise and ballistic missiles, automated turrets, and reconnaissance platforms.

Swift Beat, LLC is an American company with a significant presence in Ukraine. It specializes in the production of autonomous AI-powered drones and actively collaborates with Ukrainian engineers and the military, conducting drone testing on Ukrainian territory.
