At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, an updated exhibition of Ukrainian weapons, unmanned systems, and military equipment was presented to mark the Day of Defense Industry Workers. During the opening, Andrii Sybiha stated that the revised display at the ministry reflects the growing capacity of Ukraine’s defense industry and its role in supporting global security. He noted that each item on display indicates ongoing development in modern technological solutions that are already being used for national defense and have demonstrated effectiveness in an international context.
Oleksandr Kamyshin, Advisor to the President of Ukraine on strategic issues, noted that the country’s defense industry has evolved beyond a collection of individual enterprises or standalone products. It now functions as an integrated system that combines public and private sectors, engineering solutions, technological development, rapid scaling, and partnership-based cooperation. He emphasized that, for international audiences, it is important to consider not only individual products but the broader ecosystem of Ukraine’s defense capabilities.
Both state-owned enterprises of Ukrainian Defense Industry JSC and private manufacturers participated in the exhibition, presenting their respective developments. The exhibits included systems that have become widely recognized in the context of Ukraine’s current defense efforts. Among them were the Neptune cruise missile, used on April 13, 2022, to strike the cruiser Russian cruiser Moskva; the Areyion missile-drone, a modification of the long-range turbojet-powered Palyanytsia system; the Magura V7 maritime drone; the Stuhna-M anti-tank guided missile system; the Korsar light anti-tank system; and the FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missile.

The exhibition also included unmanned systems such as Buntar, Hor, Sichen, SOVA-150, Horobets, Linza 3.0, and Vampire, along with the Mirage electronic warfare system.
Ihor Fedirko, Executive Director of the Ukrainian Council of Gunsmiths, noted that each of these systems is supported by engineering teams, production processes, and ongoing work that often remains outside the public domain. According to him, Ukraine’s defense industry has demonstrated the capacity to rapidly develop, refine, and scale solutions relevant to modern warfare, forming an integrated ecosystem whose effectiveness has been demonstrated in practice.
In his video address marking the Day of the Armorer, Volodymyr Zelenskyy also appeared against the backdrop of recently developed Ukrainian systems. The video features 56 items of military equipment, including 31 drones (long-range systems, FPV units, bombers, reconnaissance platforms, loitering munitions, and interceptors), 7 missiles, 4 electronic warfare systems, 6 ground-based robotic platforms, one air defense turret, 3 uncrewed maritime systems, and 4 specialized armored vehicles.
