Background
In early June 2023, German technology company Quantum Systems opened service training, support, and logistics centers in Ukraine. In December, its Ukrainian research and development center began operations.
That same year, scouts of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Defense Ministry were expected to receive 105 additional Vector reconnaissance drones from the German company Quantum-Systems GmbH.
In January 2024, it also became known that Ukraine would receive 100 Trinity drones in various configurations from the German drone manufacturer Quantum-Systems. In April of the same year, another Quantum-Systems GmbH plant opened in Ukraine, specializing in drone production. The facility plans to produce 1,000 drones a year and manufacture spare parts.
In addition, in 2025, German company Quantum Systems joined the Ukrainian defense marketplaces Brave1 Market and DOT-Chain Defense, allowing Ukrainian brigades to order its drones online.
German company Quantum Systems and Ukraine's Frontline Robotics are also creating a joint defense venture that will ensure the serial production of drones for Ukraine's Defense Forces under the government initiative "Build with Ukraine."
