Czech Republic may supply Ukraine with 16 Skyfox aircraft, as stated by Minister Karel Havlíček. Four have already been confirmed, and discussions are ongoing for an additional 12. Ukraine previously expressed interest in L-159 ALCA aircraft for combating drones. The government had rejected this transfer, citing military needs. Aero Vodochody currently produces around 12 Skyfox jets annually, with potential to increase production. A new anti-drone version, Drone Hunter, is under development, aimed at countering enemy drones at lower operational costs. Aero collaborates with Thales for integration and testing of this version.
