Ukraine will allow foreign arms companies to test their latest weapons on the frontline of the war against aggressor russia, Reuters reported on Friday, July 18, citing the Brave1 arms investment and procurement group.
Companies under the "Test in Ukraine" scheme will send their latest weapons to Ukraine, conduct online training on their use, and then wait for the Ukrainian military to test them on the frontline and send reports on the results of their use, the group said in a statement.
"This gives us an understanding of what technologies are available. This gives companies an understanding of what actually works on the frontline," Artem Moroz, head of investor relations at Brave1, told Reuters at a defense conference in Wiesbaden, Germany.
Moroz noted that there is great interest in such a scheme, but did not name any companies that have agreed to such actions. The publication noted that Brave1 is an online hub created by the Ukrainian government in 2023. Thanks to it, Ukrainian defense companies can look for investors, and military units can order weapons.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in June, an analogue of the russian guided aerial bomb (KAB) was tested in Ukraine.
On July 17, US President's Special Envoy Keith Kellogg visited Ukrainian defense enterprises and announced "incredible innovations" regarding drones.
