Ukraine's Ministry of Defense

Ukraine developed a homegrown glide bomb called Vyrivniuvach, or "Equalizer," designed by DG Industry to allow pilots to strike Russian forces from safer distances. This new weapon aims to reduce Kyiv's reliance on foreign supplies such as U.S.-supplied JDAM-ER kits and French-made Hammer bombs. The ability to use this domestically produced bomb provides more control over guided ordnance, even though some chips and microcircuits still come from abroad.

Ukraine's Ministry of Defense launched TrophyLab, an access-controlled platform sharing technical intelligence on over 115 captured Russian military equipment samples with allied governments, defense companies, and research institutions. The platform provides blueprints, component analyses, and study findings, enabling verified partners to request physical hardware for inspection or testing.
