Windracers has been selected as one of three primary suppliers in the UK Government’s largest ever drone support package for Ukraine.
Announced by Defence Secretary John Healey at the Ukraine Defence Contact Group in Berlin today, the landmark £752m package includes 120,000 drones and represents a significant step in strengthening Ukraine’s operational capability, while reinforcing the UK’s position as a leader in autonomous defence technologies.
Windracers inclusion as a core supplier highlights the growing role of autonomous heavy-lift long-range drones in modern defence and the importance of sovereign UK capability in delivering resilient, mission-ready platforms.
Windracers CEO Simon Muderack said:
“Windracers is proud to be part of this historic announcement from the UK Government, led by Defence Secretary John Healey, as one of the companies selected to provide unmanned systems to Ukraine.
As an independent UK-born autonomous sovereign capability, Windracers ULTRA provides Ukraine with a resilient, dual-use heavy-lift platform offering long-range operational air support.”
Windracers ULTRA has been in active operation in Ukraine since 2023 and is capable of carrying more than 150 kg and flying more than 2,000 km.
