Ukraine approves 1,530 new models of military equipment for service this year

According to Ukrinform, the Ministry of Defense reported this. Of the 1,678 codified models of weapons and military equipment, 1,530 units—or 91.2%—were manufactured at Ukrainian enterprises. As noted by the Ministry of Defense, the new weapons models provide the military with potentially additional capabilities for carrying out combat missions: engaging the enemy, conducting reconnaissance, and protecting personnel and logistics. The pace of codification of domestic weapons models has increased significantly since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. For comparison, 60 Ukrainian models were approved for service in 2022, while in 2026, that number reached 1,530—a 25.5-fold increase.
