Armaments: Long range, high precision – These new weapons are supposed to bring Russia to its knees

Ukrainian Armor, a Ukrainian defense company, has unveiled several prototypes of new weapons at the MSPO arms fair in Kielce, Poland, that could significantly improve the country's defense capabilities. The company is working with European manufacturer MBDA to develop new air defense and "deep strike" weapons, with the goal of deploying them by the end of the year.

Ukrainian Armor's CEO, Wladislaw Belbas, says the company is focused on increasing the accuracy of its deep-strike weapons, which is a key challenge for the Ukrainian military. The company has a diverse product portfolio, including artillery ammunition, which accounted for 60% of its €1.5 billion revenue last year. Belbas expects the company's deliveries to increase fivefold this year.
