Drones, planes, air defense: What will Ukraine strengthen its army after the EuroSatory 2024 exhibition

Denis Svyatokum, co-founder and executive director of the Public Union "Defense Alliance of Ukraine", which deals with the development of the domestic defense-industrial complex, told the details about new developments and arrangements of focus. The exhibition gave Ukraine numerous opportunities to strengthen defense during the war. One of the most important events was the signing of seven agreements between the Ukrainian concern "Ukroboronprom" and French defense companies.

Among them are Thales, Hexadrone, Exaler Technologies and Arquus, which will provide joint production of drones, modernization of armored vehicles, as well as improving Ukrainian radars. "We, as the Defense Alliance of Ukraine, assisted our 7 participants, visitors of the exhibition, with communications with international companies on cooperation. Also, the Alliance has communicated with 5 defense associations of other countries about interaction and cooperation," Denis Svyatokum said.

The French company KNDS presented its Oskar drones at the exhibition, developed in the framework of the Colibri project, which it has already promised to hand over to the Ukrainian army. Other participants of the exhibition also expressed a desire to sell or transfer military equipment to Ukraine. Sweden has announced the transfer of military equipment to Ukraine worth $ 1. 3 billion.

The package includes aircraft of radar detection ASC-890, medium range of RB-99-amraam Air-Air-Air missile, PBV 302 armored personnel carriers, spare parts, ammunition and maintenance equipment. The US agreed to sell Ukraine military equipment worth $ 138 million to repair and modernize HAWK missile systems. The equipment will help to increase Ukraine's air defense efficiency.

"These agreements and presentations testify to the increase in Ukraine's international support in strengthening its defense capability and modernization of military equipment during the war," says the Executive Director of the Defense Alliance. Many technologies and products were presented at the European 2024 exhibition that can further strengthen the Defense forces of Ukraine and help them win the occupiers faster. The Defense Alliance has identified several of them.

For example, ASC-890 aircraft represented by Sweden allow you to identify and track different types of threats, including drones, planes and rockets. Such technologies could increase Ukraine's ability to identify and dispose of targets at a long distance. RheinMetall has introduced a new Panther KF51-U tank with an unmanned tower, which can be useful for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as its characteristics include modern fire control systems and high levels of protection.

Some foreign technologies presented on European 2024, the Defense Forces of Ukraine are already using the invaders. Ukraine is already successfully using the American Himars Himars artillery systems to strike for important hostile goals at a long distance. It is a weapon that has shown its efficiency on the battlefield. Ukraine already uses various antitrone systems that help protect troops from drones. These systems contain both muffins and kinetic destruction systems.

"So, the technologies presented on European 2024 show a wide range of opportunities to strengthen Ukraine's defense capability. In particular, new drones, air defense systems and electronic fighting systems can significantly increase the efficiency of Ukrainian armed forces in counteracting Russian aggression," Denis Svyatokum emphasized. At the European 2024, several Ukrainian military projects were of considerable interest among foreign participants.

"These technologies demonstrate a high level of Ukrainian development in the military sphere and their significant contribution to modern combat operations. Foreign participants of the EuroSatory 2024 have praised these innovations, which emphasizes the importance of international cooperation and exchange of experience in defense technologies," - said the co -founder of "defense. " .

Dron-Kamikadze "Mace" was represented by the Ukrainian-Czech Company UAC and became analogous to the Russian drone "Lancet". It is equipped with a thermobaric charge and can act in a strong electronic fight. The drone has a long flight range and high maneuverability due to the X-shaped tail. Specializes in the production of reconnaissance UAVs. One of the new Skyton products, represented on Eurosatory 2024, is a barrowing ammunition with a fighting of 3. 5 kg to impress land targets.

The other is an FPV digger that can be 0. 8 kg weighing and used to impress air and ground targets. UAVs have a stated flight range up to 2500 km. They are able to perform both intelligence and shock functions with the possibility of accurate guidance. It is easy to control the shock drone Fury Pro, which delivers the enemy load even with HR. Fury Pro quadcopter is capable of carrying a maximum health load of 15 kg and flying with it 6-7 km.

The universal mobile platform (UMP) "Snail", which is a modular solution for various military applications. It involves the installation of various weapons modules, ranging from machine guns to 12. 7 mm and ending with grenade launchers up to 40 mm. The systems presented at the exhibition help to effectively identify and destroy enemy goals. These technologies include radar systems and fire control systems that have already shown high efficiency on the battlefield.

Ukrainian drone decisions have aroused considerable interest among the exhibition participants. Systems for the detection, identification and disposal of enemy drones have shown their effectiveness in the protection of important objects and units at the front. At this time, in the face of war, Ukraine needs a variety of weapons to strengthen its defense capability.

Air defense systems, modern artillery, drones, armored vehicles and electronic struggle are critical for effective defense and offensive operations. Patriots, already used by Ukraine, have demonstrated high efficiency in protecting against air attacks, including missiles and drones. Further supply of such systems will be critical to protect strategic objects.

Medium -range systems also help protect the airspace and can integrate with other air defense products, creating a multilayered defense system. Mobile artillery systems, such as Himars, have already shown their efficiency on the battlefield. Their ability to quickly change the position after the volley makes them especially valuable to combat heavy enemy artillery.

Modern high -precision artillery shells, especially 155 mm caliber, allow you to effectively hit targets at high distances with high accuracy. This is especially important for counter -battery struggle and the destruction of hostile fortifications. Bayraktar TB2 UAVs are already widely used by Ukrainian forces for intelligence and blows for hostile purposes. Their ability to stroke and great range makes them extremely valuable in hostilities.

Drones-Kamikadze "Mace" are able to beat in hostile positions with high accuracy, which allows to effectively destroy the enemy equipment and the live power of the enemy. Modern basic combat tanks, such as Leopard 2 and Abrams, provide a high level of protection and fire power, which makes them extremely effective in offensive and defense operations.

Armored vehicles, such as Marder and Bradley, provide infantry protection and support in offensive operations, allowing you to interact more effectively with other types of troops. Modern HRS systems allow you to suppress the enemy's communications, which is especially important to prevent the coordination of enemy forces and manage their drones. Radio or drones, such as Giraffe 1x, allow you to notice enemy UAVs in advance and to protect themselves from air attacks more effectively.
