UK‑Ukraine electronic warfare aid

In late July 2026 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the United Kingdom, meeting the new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham aboard the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth. Britain pledged “unwavering” support by transferring the intellectual‑property rights and thousands of units of its Stone Cloak electronic‑warfare jammer to Ukraine, a system designed to jam Russian air‑defence radars that target drones.

The same week NATO inaugurated the UNITE‑Brave programme, a joint Ukraine‑NATO initiative seeking proposals for counter‑drone and air‑defence technologies. The launch underscored deeper NATO and UK assistance for Ukraine’s aerial warfare capabilities, with Burnham specifically announcing the sharing of battle‑tested Stone Cloak information.

These developments signal a coordinated effort by the UK and NATO to bolster Ukraine’s counter‑drone and electronic‑warfare capacities amid ongoing Russian attacks on Ukrainian ports.
