With this agreement, we emphasize our strong cooperation with the Czech Republic and Establishing a framework for future giving through the Republic.” Danish Minister of Defense Troels Lund Poulsen said:

In early January 2024, Militarny reported that the Czech company Isolit-Bravo donated the unmanned ground vehicle UGV Trail-Blazer to the Ukrainian army.
Trailblazers are shipped directly to troops to avoid red tape and potential delays. The unmanned ground vehicle is used by soldiers of the 1st Tank Brigade.
In total, Isolit-Bravo has already transferred eight Trail-Blazer drones to Ukraine free of charge, and four more are ready for shipment.
