At MSPO-2026 in Poland, a Ukrainian company unveiled the Shershen multi-calibre air-defence system and R-120K missile, alongside the Ai-Petri electronic warfare system. Separately, the Zorelit v5 interceptor drone completed testing, highlighting Ukraine’s growing indigenous air-defence capabilities.
Ukraine unveiled the Magura V11 naval drone, a new FPV strike drone, and a jet-powered UAV set for European production, while striking a Russian oil refinery, a Wildberries hub, and a $100m radar system. The developments show a rapidly industrialising drone sector with increasingly sophisticated capabilities.
Ukrainian drones destroyed a Wildberries logistics centre in Kotovsk and struck the Lukoil refinery in Kstovo on 25-26 August. The attacks coincide with the unveiling of new Ukrainian drone systems — the F5 FPV strike drone, the HV VTX Pro range-extending transmitter, and the Magura V11 naval mothership — showing how rapid innovation is enabling deeper strikes inside Russia.
Three Ukrainian firms unveiled new drones on 25 August: a 2,200 kg naval mothership, a compact FPV, and a transmitter boosting range by 50%. The shift: larger platforms and EW resilience.
