A London-based naval drone maker founded by Ukrainians, Uforce, is valued around $6bn (about £4.5bn) after raising more than $700m (£500m) from investors. Multiple outlets report that the UK’s National Wealth Fund (NWF) is a major backer, with one describing it as making its largest defence investment.
Uforce makes military drones for land, air and sea, and the company’s work is linked to the war in Ukraine, with one outlet saying its equipment has been used extensively. The reporting places the funding within the context of Uforce’s rapid growth and its status as a fast-growing “unicorn” startup with a valuation above $1bn.
Across sources, the core facts align: Uforce completes a large financing round with UK NWF participation, and its valuation rises to roughly $6bn. Differences are mainly in the specific totals and emphasis—some lead with the valuation and UK NWF investment, while others highlight the investors or the scale as a defence-sector milestone.
