Ukrainian unmanned aerial systems developer Airlogix and Finnish company Innokas have reached an agreement on the joint production of drones on Finnish territory. The parties plan to deploy additional production capacity that will operate using Ukrainian technologies and design solutions. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing the "Militarny" portal. The partnership is being implemented under the Build with Ukraine program, whose goal is to create additional production sites in Europe to meet the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Architecture of the agreement: who is responsible for what
Under the terms of the agreement, intellectual property, technologies, and design solutions remain exclusively Ukrainian. The Finnish side takes on the tasks of scaling production and localizing it — from organizing supply chains to adapting production lines to European standards. Thus, the cooperation model is built on the principle of "Ukrainian product — European production base," which allows both preserving technological sovereignty and expanding output volumes.
What is Airlogix and what drones does it produce
Airlogix specializes in the development and production of fixed-wing unmanned aerial systems. The company's key product is the "Hor" tactical reconnaissance drone, designed for correcting artillery fire and detecting enemy objects at operational depth. In addition to reconnaissance aircraft, Airlogix's lineup includes the Anubis strike drones, making the company one of the few Ukrainian developers covering the full cycle of tasks — from reconnaissance to target engagement. The image shown features a typical fixed-wing UAV sample with a pusher propeller and a suspended sensor block, characteristic of tactical reconnaissance-strike platforms of this class.
Broader context: Ukraine–Finland defense partnership
The Airlogix–Innokas agreement is not an isolated case but part of a systematic strengthening of defense cooperation between the two countries. The corresponding memoranda of cooperation in the field of drone production were signed with the participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Finnish President Alexander Stubb during a round-table meeting on defense cooperation. Stubb stated that Finnish and Ukrainian companies are already concluding actual agreements on launching joint capacity, and emphasized that 90% of the produced goods will be supplied to Ukraine, while 10% will remain in Finland.
Next steps and prospects
The next stage of cooperation will be the joint development of legal, technical, and production interaction models. The parties are also considering the possibility of establishing a joint venture, which would allow formalizing the distribution of shares, responsibilities, and decision-making mechanisms. For Ukraine, launching Finnish capacity means diversifying the production base beyond the country's borders, which reduces risks associated with military operations on its territory. For Finland, this strengthens its position in European defense production and deepens its integration into the NATO security system in the context of supporting Ukraine.
