Ukrainian aviation companies will begin to master the maintenance and repair of Airbus aviation technology. This agreement was reached between the European company and the State Enterprise "Ukrainian Defense Industry" during the International Paris Air Show.

The parties signed a trilateral Memorandum of Cooperation, which envisions training and preparing Ukrainian specialists to work with European technology. This will enable Ukrainian plants to repair Airbus equipment utilized by the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

A visit by Airbus representatives to Ukraine has already been announced, where they will help form teams of specialists who will start learning about the technologies and documentation of European equipment. Following the training, representatives of "Ukroboronprom" enterprises will receive instructor status.

It is noteworthy that several types of Airbus aviation technology are currently in service in Ukraine. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine operates Eurocopter EC145 and Airbus H225 Super Puma helicopters for evacuating the injured and firefighting. The National Police and the State Border Guard Service use European Airbus H125 and H145 for patrolling, troop transport, and hunting "Shaheds," while the National Guard employs Airbus H225 Super Puma for logistical tasks.

Additionally, an Airbus A319CJ from the state aviation enterprise "Ukraine" transports the highest military-political leadership of the country during foreign missions.

Interestingly, the European aviation giant Airbus is actively studying the experiences of the Russo-Ukrainian war and adapting its technology for various hybrid tasks. At the aforementioned Paris Air Show, the aviation giant presented a concept for transforming its military transport aircraft A400M into a platform for launching and managing swarms of small drones.
