According to ERR, the company has already signed the first agreements with a number of partners, including Ukrainian drone manufacturers. The company will produce FPV drones, attack drones, bombers, and reconnaissance drones.

According to Eduard Vainu, Chief Development Officer of Meridein Grupp, the first products will be ready no later than the first half of 2026.

Although the exact location of the plant is not disclosed for security reasons, it is known that the initial production capacity will reach 2,000 drones per day. The company also does not disclose the amount of investment in the new plant.

As a reminder, Latvian Defence Minister Andris Spruds recently announced the delivery of a new batch of attack drones to Ukraine as part of the international coalition of drones. This batch includes 1,500 combat drones out of 12,000 UAVs, which will be produced by two Latvian companies for the needs of the Ukrainian Defence Forces in the first half of the year. The order was worth €17 million at the time.
