In addition to modern types of armored vehicles, among them wheeled armored vehicles for combat systems, the exhibition presents the latest technologies, including systems for combating unmanned vehicles and systems for radiation reconnaissance.

On the basis of the National Technical University of Ukraine “Kiev Polytechnic Institute named after Igor Sikorsky” there was a presentation of new defense technologies and dual-purpose developments, as well as an exhibition of modern weapons. Among the organizers of the exhibition are the Public Union “League of Defense Enterprises of Ukraine”, NTUU “KPI” and the Department of Military Policy, Strategic Planning and International Cooperation of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

To get acquainted with the new Ukrainian military equipment, the exhibition was visited by representatives of more than 30 countries.

In addition to modern types of armored vehicles, among them wheeled armored vehicles for combat systems, the exhibition presents the latest technologies, including systems for combating unmanned vehicles and systems for radiation reconnaissance.

Domestic company Wider has presented a multivision with the same name. Wider – mobile, placed in a small transportation case, can quickly turn, fold and move. In fact – a mobile video wall based on modern laser technology.

The developer notes that the Ukrainian device has many advantages over foreign analogs. The speed of the mobile multivision collection is 45 minutes, the cost is 15 thousand dollars.

” – This device can be used in analytical centers, in operational headquarters, can quickly deploy and fold in small rooms. The length of the Wider is just over three meters. This is a pre-production model, on the basis of which we are ready to receive pre-orders and carry out deliveries,” says Anton Galyashinsky, author of Wider.

The complex of radio interference “Enclave” fights with unmanned aerial vehicles and high-precision weapons, creating above the object a dome of radio waves with a radius of up to 30 kilometers.

– This allows us to secure our troops from conducting reconnaissance and conducting artillery fire adjustments.” If we use this complex, then the enemy precision weapons turn into ordinary blanks that will not be able to carry out the tasks, – explains Mikhail Prokhorenko, deputy chairman of the board of the holding company Ukrspetstekhnika.

According to him, the complex was repeatedly tested in the ATU zone. Now it is successfully used by the Ukrainian army and is an effective means of combating unmanned vehicles.

Among the advantages of the Ukrainian “Enclave” is the possibility to use it in an autonomous mode for several hours.

However, the main goal of the exhibition is much deeper than simply presentation of the defense capability of the Ukrainian army. According to the head of the Center for Army Studies, Conversion and Disarmament Valentin Badrak, the state should change the rules of the game in the field of military-technical cooperation, which have not changed since 1994, since the signing of the Budapest Memorandum.

– Today we are faced with the situation when the war broke all these agreements. Ukraine remained alone with the enemy, and we had a stormy surge in the development of new technologies and new opportunities. If earlier we had about 30 defense enterprises, today – more than 150. This is a very large potential. Today we want to draw attention to the private defense sector and state that the rules of the game need to be changed, – the military expert said.

Valentin Badrak believes that it is possible to increase the potential of Ukraine’s defense sector by liberalizing the private defense market, which will allow private companies to freely enter foreign markets. Today, all Ukrainian defense products are exported exclusively through state-owned Ukroboronprom and Ukrspetsexport. Moreover, the cost of goods is consistent with the state, therefore Ukrainian products are not competitive on the international market.

– Today there are opportunities not only to sell equipment, but also to enter military technical projects with Western partners. As Ukroboronprom recently reported, today in the foreign markets in this sphere revenues of $ 725 million were received. We counted the potential of the state, including the private defense sector, which will be given free opportunities – profits in the defense sphere will automatically increase to $ 3 billion, “said Badrak.

Today’s situation already has some negative consequences, which are the outflow of new technologies from the country. Some Ukrainian enterprises build production capacities in other countries and sell products that could be exported from Ukraine. In this case, our state loses both technology and money.

Currently, negotiations are expected on this issue and the adoption of a relevant draft law on military-technical cooperation, which has been developed over the past ten years.

Director TSDAKR called for the elimination of the state monopoly on arms exports

Center for Army, Conversion and Disarmament (TSDAKR) supports the elimination of the state monopoly on arms exports and the transition of Ukraine to the prohibitive notifying system of export control.
