| | QinetiQ Group plc, a UK-based defense and security technology company, has been actively supporting Ukraine's armed forces since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. The firm's contributions focus on unmanned systems, robotics, and additive manufacturing technologies, often through partnerships with governments and contractors. These supplies enhance Ukraine's capabilities in explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), surveillance, reconnaissance, and rapid prototyping of spare parts amid supply chain disruptions. While QinetiQ does not directly sell arms as a primary trader, its technologies are integrated into broader NATO and UK aid packages. | | QinetiQ Group plc, a UK-based defense and security technology company, has been actively supporting Ukraine's armed forces since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
