Ukrainian planes will be equipped in Israel way

I always stress that we are to learn a lot from Israel. First of all because Israel very actively cooperating and sharing experience, secondly, because Israeli technologies are one of the most advanced. And if we want for Ukraine to reach top hundred, top ten, top five - like Israel did – than we have to strengthen relations between our countries. Especially when Israel always gives such opportunity.

Last week delegation of Israel company ORBIT presented to UAF command ultramodern communication system Orion, designed for training planes.

Israeli company ORBIT is world’s leading supplier of integrated communication systems. They are used in air, land, navy and space spheres. Besides, Israeli company works with both army and civil structures all over the world, with constant development and update of design.

Possibility of participation in this project is not only a good way to update Ukrainian equipment, but a chance to learn: a part in this project will be given to Ukrainian engineers from defense complex, that will get new experience in modernization of military planes and helicopters. I hope that Ukrainian army and authorities will be able to value this opportunity and use it in the right way.

Today, when Ukraine is in lingering military conflict, we have to modernize all that small heritage that was not stolen by this time. While politician prefer to solve their own issues, share cases, simple Ukrainians defend their land from enemy. But to protect itself, Ukraine have to update its equipment. Ukrainian aviation is in the process of modernization, and installation of modern equipment is a necessary condition for normal operation. Our planes have to catch up for the gap that we created in the last decades, and Israel gives such opportunity. Israel is leader in aviation equipment systems and Israeli technologies are accepted all over the world. Using their advanced experience, we can create modern army. And not only army: these technologies are needed in civil-, navy-, and space spheres.
