Russia Donates $3M Mapping Gear to Uganda's UPDF

Russia gave Uganda military mapping equipment worth $3 million. The handover happened at Special Forces Command Headquarters in Entebbe. Major General Sergey Marchuk from Russia presented the tools to Brigadier General Paul Namawa of Uganda. Officers from the Special Forces Command watched the ceremony. The equipment creates detailed terrain maps showing elevation, landscapes, and structures.

These maps help military planning and operations. They also assist civilian projects like urban development, disaster response, and infrastructure planning. The donation strengthens military cooperation between the two countries. Uganda and Russia have maintained close ties since Uganda became independent. Their partnership includes various fields beyond military matters.

The countries started a helicopter service company together last year. PRO HELI International Service Limited works with Uganda's National Enterprise Corporation and repairs both civilian and military helicopters. Uganda and Russia also collaborate in education, scientific research, and technology. Their military training programs represent another area of ongoing cooperation.
