Initially, Ukraine held negotiations with the German company Deutz, but it stated that it could not guarantee the supply of units.
In the end, the Swedish defense industry expressed its consent to provide engines. According to the agreements between the parties, Ukraine plans to organize joint production of weapons, the latest equipment, and military technologies. In addition, Sweden declared its readiness to help in creating the latest technology.
It is worth noting that until the spring of 2014, Volvo supplied engines for Russian military equipment, but then refused to do so due to the occupation in Ukraine.
