Sumy At a special exhibition earlier this week, Ukraines Ministry of Strategic Industry presented some of the new weapons designed and built entirely within the country to the media.
Drawing on the latest technological developments and knowledge gained from 11 years of war including more than 3 years of large-scale warfare these weapons consist of robotic complexes that can operate remotely or even autonomously.
The NRC TerMIT (short for Terrain Modular Infantry Transporter), for example, is a modular tracked platform that can be used for a wide range of land applications. Alla Perdei and I followed the projects design and development step by step in Kyiv. A robotic tracked vehicle equipped with cameras and a 1.24-meter-long high-strength chassis, the TerMIT can be used to deliver supplies to the most dangerous areas to reach, but also to clear land mines or to transport wounded military personnel with a payload of up to 300 kg. If equipped with its combat modules, i.e. its Predator grenade launcher, the Storm Mk19 pod or the Browning machine gun turret, it can provide valuable support in the hottest areas of the battlefield, hitting targets up to a kilometer away (which becomes almost two in the case of the grenade launcher) without endangering precious human resources. Like practically all the other devices presented, it is also equipped with an electronic warfare module (able to interface with other systems so that they operate in unison, following coordinated patterns at a distance and without being able to be intercepted) and autonomous tools to cover its tracks, such as the smoke generator. If equipped with the minelayer module, in engineer mode it can be used to mine large specific areas, taking advantage of an autonomy of over 10 km from the starting point.
Its price? 12,000 dollars, compared to over 300,000 for a similar foreign product (which has the same probability of being destroyed on the battlefield).
The FP-1 attack drone is instead capable of carrying warheads of up to 120 kg to hit targets at a maximum distance of 1600 km.
The Bulava, developed by the Czech-Ukrainian company UAC, can be equipped with cumulative thermobaric warheads weighing 3.6 kg and has a range of up to 60 km from the launch point.
The gigantic Bohdana cannon can destroy targets as large as buildings up to 42 km away. Alla and I have seen it in action on the battlefield, and it is nothing short of terrifying in its size and the force it unleashes.
Other made-in-Ukraine hybrid missile/drone launchers can already be armed with 300 to 600 kg warheads, striking targets over 2,000 km from the launch site with surgical precision.
By 2024, Ukraine had produced $9 billion in weapons domestically, significantly increasing the production of its own launchers. President Volodymyr Zelensky recently instructed the development of a Ukrainian-made ballistic missile to accelerate as much as possible, calling it an important security guarantee.
According to a German military report,Ukraines use of supplied weapons revealed that some armaments from Germany were inadequate for modern warfare. This means that without the experience gained in Ukraine, the Berlin Ministry of Defense would have discovered the problems with its weapons only during a hopefully distant third world war.
Therefore, it is important for Ukraine to capitalize on the painful experience gained over a decade by investing in its own war industry.
According to the Minister of Strategic Industry Smetanin,over 40% of the weapons in the hands of Trident soldiers are already of Ukrainian production. This means thatsince the beginning of the large-scale Russian invasion of the country, the Ukrainian military-industrial complex has increased its production capacity by a good 35 times. Minister Smetanin also noted that the Ukrainian war machine is already capable of doing at least four times as much.
Without the need for old-fashioned parades, in Kyiv, they get straight to the point. If Vladimir Putins manifest intention was to demilitarize the Country of Sunflowers,it can be safely said that the special military operation not only failed but produced the opposite of its declared purpose.
烏克蘭製新型武器

Sumy在本週早些時候的一個特別展覽上，烏克蘭戰略工業部向媒體展示了一些完全在國內設計和製造的新型武器。
汲取了11年戰爭--包括超過3年的大規模戰爭--中獲得的最新技術發展和知識，這些武器由可以遠端甚至自主操作的機器人係統組成。
例如，美國核管會的TerMIT（地形模組化步兵運輸車的縮寫）是一個模組化的履帶式平台，具有廣泛的陸地應用。Alla Perdei和我在基輔一步一步地跟蹤了該專案的設計和開發。TerMIT是一輛配備攝像機和1.24米長的高強度底盤的機器人履帶車，可用於向最危險的區域運送物資，但也可以用於清除地雷或運輸載荷高達300公斤的受傷軍事人員。
如果配備其戰鬥模組，即捕食者榴彈發射器、風暴Mk19吊艙或勃朗寧機槍塔，它可以在交戰最激烈的戰場提供有寶貴的支援，在不危及寶貴的人力資源的情況下擊中遠至一公裏外的目標（在榴彈發射器的情況下幾乎達到兩公裏）。
與幾乎所有其他展示的設備一樣，它也配備了電子戰模組（能夠與其他係統連接，以便它們協同工作，遵循遠距離的協調模式，並且不會被截獲）和覆蓋其軌跡的自主工具，例如煙霧發生器。如果配備了佈雷模組，在工程師模式下，得益於距離起點超過10公裏的自主性，它可用於在大型特定區域布雷。
它的價格？僅僅是12,000美元，而類似的外國產品（在戰場上被摧毀的機率相同）超過30萬美元。
而FP-1攻擊無人機則能夠攜帶高達120公斤的彈頭，擊中最遠1600公裏的目標。
由捷克-烏克蘭公司UAC開發的Bulava可配備重達3.6公斤的累積熱壓彈頭，射程可達距離發射點60公裏。
巨大的「Bohdana」大炮可以摧毀42公裏外的建築物。Alla和我已經看到了它在戰場上的作用，它的尺寸和釋放的力量實在令人感到恐懼。
其他烏克蘭製造的混合導彈/無人機發射器已經可以裝備300至600公斤的彈頭，以手術般的精確度擊中發射場地2,000公裏外的目標。
截止2024年，烏克蘭已在國內生產了價值90億美元的武器，大大提高了自己的發射器的產量。總統Volodymyr Zelensky最近指示儘快加速開發烏克蘭製造的彈道導彈，並稱其為重要的安全保障。
根據一份德國軍方報告，烏克蘭對所供應武器的使用表明，來自德國的一些軍備不足以應對現代戰爭。這意味著，如果沒有在烏克蘭獲得的經驗，柏林國防部隻有希望是遙遠的第三次世界大戰期間才會發現其武器存在的問題。
因此，烏克蘭必須利用過去十年來所獲得的痛苦經驗投資於自身戰爭工業。
據戰略工業部長Smetanin稱，三叉戟士兵手中超過40%的武器已經是烏克蘭生產的。這意味著，自俄羅斯大規模入烏克蘭以來，烏軍工綜合體的產能已經大幅提高了35倍。Smetanin部長還指出，烏克蘭戰爭機器已經實現了四倍的增長。
在基輔，他們無需老式的遊行，他們直奔主題。如果弗拉基米爾普京的明確意圖是將向日葵之國非軍事化，那麼可以肯定地說，特別軍事行動不僅是失敗了，而且產生了與其宣稱的目標相反的效果。
