Ukraine’s defense industry is currently playing one of the key roles in the global arms market. At international exhibitions, customers primarily seek Ukrainian defense industry products, which represent quick and effective solutions that have been tested in modern combat conditions.

The relevant statement was made by Military Armored Company (MAC) HUB CEO Oleksandr Dubyna in a commentary to Ukrinform.

“The world is becoming faster and more mobile, and therefore the market every year or even every month tries to find more effective innovative solutions that will not only bring benefits directly on the battlefield, but also allow for cheaper production without losing quality. And it is the Ukrainian military-industrial complex that currently plays one of the key roles in the global arms market in this regard,” Dubyna told.

In his words, at international military exhibitions, customers primarily seek products from Ukraine’s defense industry.

“Since everyone understands: most likely, this is the very product or weapon that was tested in battles in the Russo-Ukrainian war. The Russian full-scale invasion forced us to look for quick, effective solutions. In addition to conventional means of warfare, we are always trying to create something new to ‘surprise’ the enemy… Ukraine’s arms and military equipment market is about innovation, maximum efficiency, and the search for low-cost but effective battlefield solutions,” Dubyna stressed.

Among the examples of implementing such approach, he mentioned modern naval drones (Katran, Magura, SeaBaby) and unmanned aerial vehicles that are used by the Ukrainian military to attack Russian oil refineries.

A reminder that, in July 2025, Ukrainian defense companies and enterprises were showcasing their products at IDEF-2025, one of the largest international defense industry exhibitions, which was taking place in Türkiye’s Istanbul.
