Details: The codification process allows the signing of an agreement between entrepreneurs and the Defence Ministry. As noted, new developments are tested before codification.
The new robotic systems include a ground robotic platform for remote mining with a remote self-detonation function and a ground robotic logistics system.
Speaking about UAVs, the Ukrainian army will receive a new modification of the Leleka (Stork) drone and two types of FPV drones with different payload capacities. Particular attention was paid to protection of drones from Russian electronic warfare equipment.
The semi-mounted mine roller for armoured combat vehicles on a chassis has also been codified. In addition, Ukraine’s Armed Forces will receive a two-seater ATV with a load capacity of 800 kilograms and a separate tactical trailer.
In addition, Shturm-SM mobile anti-tank missile system based on one of the armoured combat vehicles has been codified and tested. Ukrainian missiles with different types of warheads have been developed for ATGMs.
Background:
In October 2023, Ukraine’s Defence Ministry, for the first time ever, approved new models of drones under a simplified procedure, which was approved by the Cabinet of Ministry the other day, and shortened the relevant terms to a few days instead of months.
