The tablet-sized device is designed to disrupt Russian drone detection
systems and strengthen Ukraines ability to counter unmanned threats.
Thousands of Stone Cloak units have already been supplied to Ukrainian forces as electronic warfare becomes increasingly important on the battlefield.

Stone Cloak is an example of the best of British innovation, proven on the front lines, and will be crucial to safeguarding the security of both our nations, Burnham said.

This will help them hit their targets and save Ukrainian lives. It also demonstrates the kind of innovations our industries can create together.

The transfer gives Ukraine the ability to manufacture the compact electronic warfare equipment without depending entirely on external deliveries. Are you

The system works by interfering with drone detection capabilities, helping Ukrainian forces reduce the effectiveness of hostile unmanned aerial operations.

Electronic warfare systems like Stone Cloak have become a major part of
modern combat as drones continue shaping battlefield tactics.

British officials described the transfer of intellectual property as a way to support Ukraines defence needs through expanded manufacturing capability.

The agreement forms part of broader defence cooperation between London and Kyiv involving military assistance, training, and technology sharing.

The UK stands shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, and our support remains unwavering. Russia should have no doubt about our resolve, and we will not back down until we achieve a lasting and just peace for Ukraine, Burnham
said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has continued seeking greater access to defence technologies that can be produced within Ukraine.

The Stone Cloak system is among several technologies aimed at improving protection against increasingly common drone threats.

Its compact design allows easier deployment compared with larger electronic warfare systems that require more extensive equipment and infrastructure. Compact electronic warfare gains importance against drone threats The growing use of unmanned systems has increased demand for smaller electronic warfare tools capable of responding quickly.

Drones have become widely used for surveillance, reconnaissance, and attack missions, creating greater demand for effective countermeasures.

Systems like Stone Cloak are designed to provide another layer of protection against these increasingly common battlefield threats.

The effectiveness of electronic warfare equipment depends on continued improvements because drone technology and countermeasures continue evolving.

Manufacturing Stone Cloak inside Ukraine could allow faster adaptation of the system based on battlefield feedback and operational requirements.

However, production expansion will depend on industrial capacity, component availability, and the ability to maintain reliable manufacturing processes.

Future availability of Stone Cloak units will depend on how quickly Ukrainian production facilities can scale up operations.
