UKRAINE’S ambassador to the UK, Vadym Prystaiko, visited Coventry firm NP Aerospace on Monday to thank those who helped manufacture life-saving armour to support his country in its war with Russia.
Since last year, with the support of NATO Governments, the firm has delivered and is on contract for over 90,000 sets of body armour plates.
Over 86,000 NP Aerospace helmets and 80 Mastiff and Wolfhound Mine Protected Vehicles have been delivered to support the Ukrainian effort.
Ambassador Prystaiko also showed painted armour plates which will be sold for charity to the Coventry staff.
The ArtArmor scheme was set up by Ukrainian MP Alex Kovalchuk to highlight the importance of life-saving military support from around the world.
An artist has painted several NP Aerospace plates which have saved the lives of Ukrainians since the conflict started.
The firm also donated replacement armour plates during the Ambassador’s visit.
