New UK PM to hand over Stone Cloak EW technology to Zelenskyy - The Independent

New UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham will host Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday, July 27, as his first international guest since taking office, and he plans to announce the transfer of Stone Cloak EW technology.

The Independent announces, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

Burnham and Zelenskyy are scheduled to visit a naval base where the British Prime Minister will announce that the UK will transfer intellectual property to its new Stone Cloak electronic warfare system, allowing Ukraine to mass-produce the technology.

The tablet-sized device is designed to block detection by russian forces of any drones it is fitted to.

The Ministry of Defence has reportedly already handed over thousands of such jammers to the Ukrainian armed forces to enhance their drone operations.

"The UK stands with Ukraine and our support remains unwavering. Russia must have no doubt about our resolve and we will not back down until we achieve a lasting and just peace for Ukraine. Stone Cloak is the best example of British innovation, tested on the front lines, and it will play a crucial role in ensuring the security of both our countries," Burnham said in his address.

Once deployed in Ukraine, the technology is expected to be integrated into Britain's next-generation long-range weapons, including Project Brakestop, a government initiative to develop low-cost cruise missiles.

During the visit, the two leaders will meet more than 200 Ukrainian service members who have been in the UK for the past three weeks taking part in Exercise Sea Breeze, which aims to strengthen combat capabilities and mine countermeasures in the Black Sea.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Zelenskyy announced the update of the list of priority targets during a meeting on deep strikes, which was attended by Acting Minister of Defense Yevhen Khmara and the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi.
