Citing information for the Polish Prime Minister, Poland has already provided around$ 1.6 billion of military aid to Ukraine. Poland is also a logistical platform to deliver military equipment and weapons to the Ukrainian armed forces due to its border with Ukraine.

The WARMATE combat unmanned aerial vehicle (CUAV) is a multi-role system performing multiple tasks depending on the type of head installed. It constitutes a good alternative for anti-tank guided missiles with its capability to operate in a significantly larger radius, allowing comfortable detection and observation of the potential target in a relatively large time span (the flight time is ca. 70 minutes). Optionally the system can be equipped with a laser-seeking warhead.
