French company Turgis & Gaillard and Antonov SE to establish Aarok drone production in Ukraine

French company Turgis & Gaillard has signed an agreement with the Ukrainian state enterprise Antonov to jointly produce a scaled-down and more affordable version of the Aarok MALE drone. LaTribune reported this on October 3, citing Fanny Tugris, the founder of Turgis & Gaillard.

"The drone is set to take off in Ukraine next year", - noted Fanny Tugris.

She added that the Ukrainian and French sides need to coordinate all subsequent actions on an industrial and operational level. This includes determining the location for assembling the drone and deciding which French and Ukrainian equipment to use for this UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle).

As previously reported, Ukraine has signed approximately 20 agreements and memorandums with French defense manufacturers.
