Poland and the Czech Republic have decided to strengthen bilateral military cooperation and defence industries amid rising Russian aggression.    

Poland Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Mariusz Błaszczak said: “We are involved in Nato, but we are also discussing cooperation in the European Union forum, concerning, for example, the supply of fuel for the army.” 

Czech Minister of Defence Jana Černochova said: “I can say that Poland is modernising its equipment, and so is the Czech Republic. We have joint ventures prepared.”

The two sides also held discussions on holding joint exercises of special units, airborne units, and military police.

ICEYE and the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation have also signed a contract to provide ICEYE’s Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite imaging capabilities to Ukraine.

The company will also provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with access to its constellation of SAR satellites.

This will help the soldiers receive radar satellite imagery on key locations with a high revisit frequency.

Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation founder Serhiy Prytula said: “ICEYE owns the most developed radar satellite imaging technology in the world, as of today.

“This agreement is a significant step in responding to the Government of Ukraine’s urgent request for critical earth observation data and it will greatly benefit our Armed Forces.”
