Ukrainian Defence Industry (UOP) and the American company Amentum Services will set up a joint venture to restore and maintain US-made armoured vehicles.
This was reported by the UOP press service, Ukrinform reports.
"The Ukrainian Defence Industry Joint Stock Company has signed a memorandum of intent to establish a joint venture with Amentum Services, Inc. (USA), one of the leading companies in global design, project management and solution integration. We are talking about potential cooperation on the restoration and maintenance of American-made armoured vehicles," the statement said.

Domestic weapons manufacturers expect new partners to help them obtain technical documentation, equipment and spare parts that will be useful in the repair and maintenance of US-made armoured combat vehicles.
