The Company is working with business development professionals to support entry into these emerging markets, with strategic discussions already underway

Duke Robotics is encouraged by Kazakhstan joining the Abraham Accords, unlocking civil and defense technology cooperation opportunities with Israe

Fort Lauderdale, FL, Dec. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duke Robotics Corp. (OTCQB: DUKR) ("Duke Robotics" or the "Company"), a leader in advanced robotics technology and autonomous drone solutions for the civilian and defense markets, today announced that it is actively advancing business development activities to expand commercialization of its Insulator Cleaning Drone (“IC Drone”) technology into Central Asian markets.

Recent diplomatic developments, including strengthening ties between Israel and several Central Asian nations under the expanding ‘Abraham Accords’ framework, are creating a more constructive environment for the introduction of Israeli technologies into new markets. Kazakhstan’s addition to the Abraham Accords in November 2025^[1], alongside existing normalized relationships, is expected to support expanded trade and cooperation opportunities across the region.

Yossef Balucka, Chief Executive Officer of Duke Robotics, commented, "We believe Central Asia represents a significant growth opportunity for our IC Drone technology and that the region's substantial electrical infrastructure and increasing focus on infrastructure modernization align well with our solution's value proposition. We are encouraged by the favorable conditions emerging as diplomatic ties strengthen and by the potential for expanded cooperation between Israel and countries in the region. Our engagement of dedicated business development professionals underscores our commitment to pursuing these opportunities systematically and professionally."

The Central Asian expansion initiative follows Duke Robotics' ongoing European growth strategy, including the Company's expansion into the Greek market as well as its existing operations in Israel, which have demonstrated the IC Drone’s commercial viability.
