Ukrainian developments are actively sought at international defense industry exhibitions – director of a defense company

The Ukrainian military-industrial complex currently plays one of the key roles in the global arms market, which is why customers are primarily looking for Ukrainian projects at international exhibitions. This was stated by Oleksandr Dubyna, director of Military Armored Company (MAC) HUB, Ukrinform reports.

"The world is becoming faster and more mobile, and therefore the market every year or even every month tries to find more effective innovative solutions that will not only bring benefits directly on the battlefield, but also allow for cheaper production without loss of quality. And it is the Ukrainian military-industrial complex that currently plays one of the key roles in the global arms market in this aspect," he explained.

According to the director of MAC HUB, Ukrainian solutions have been tested in combat conditions, while they have low cost and high efficiency.

"Because everyone understands: most likely, this is the very product or weapon that was tested in battles in the Russian-Ukrainian war. The full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation forced us to look for quick, effective solutions. And in addition to traditional means of waging war, we are always trying to create something new to "surprise" the enemy... The Ukrainian military equipment market is about innovation, maximum efficiency, and the search for budget-friendly but effective solutions in battle," Dubyna emphasized.

He cited modern naval drones, such as "Katran", "Magura", SeaBaby, as well as drones with which Ukraine strikes enemy refineries as examples of such solutions.

Recall that the Ukrainian defense industry already has about 900 enterprises, most of them private. This was written by First Deputy Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Ivan Havrylyuk. According to him, in a few years the "defense industry" has gained significant momentum, especially in the production of shells of all Soviet calibers, armored vehicles, ATGMs and other systems.
