The defence ministers of Canada and Ukraine signed an agreement to support the co-production of drones<\/a> on the margins of the CANSEC defence trade show in the nation\u2019s capital this week.<\/p>\n

National Defence says the drones will be made by the Ukrainian company Airlogix and Canadian drone maker Sentinel R&D, which is based out of Hamilton, Ont.<\/p>\n
