During January 2025, the Ministry of Defense codified and admitted to operation in the Defense Forces about 130 new samples of weapons and military equipment. Of these, approximately 100 were produced by Ukrainian gunsmiths.
This is stated in a message on the Ministry of Defense website.
In January 2024, less than fifty samples of weapons and military equipment were codified, of which about 20 were of Ukrainian production.
"Given the high intensity of hostilities at the front, our soldiers need more weapons of a wide range. We need more innovative means of destruction to increase the capabilities of our soldiers on the battlefield. Domestic gunsmiths are quickly responding to today's needs, increasing production volumes, and developing the latest weapons. Progress is especially noticeable in the development of unmanned systems of various types and purposes: air, ground, sea, and electronic warfare," said Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Brigadier General Anatolii Klochko.
Among the samples of EW codified since the beginning of 2025, the largest number of unmanned aviation systems is almost four dozen samples. In particular, there are drones with a fiber-optic control channel.
The list of codified samples of EW in the first month of 2025 also includes more than 20 samples of military vehicles of various types and purposes. In addition, there are ammunition, logistics equipment, and ground robotic systems. Certain samples of equipment for engineering and nuclear and chemical weapons units have also been approved for use in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Among the foreign weapons codified for the needs of the Defense Forces are a number of samples of small arms of various types from well-known arms concerns in Europe and the U.S., grenade launchers, special vehicles, etc.
