Western defense companies are testing their weapons in Ukraine — Business Insider
An increasing number of Western defense companies are seeking to test their military technologies in Ukraine, where they can be put through their paces in conditions that closely resemble combat.
This is reported by Business Insider.
According to the publication, under the Test in Ukraine program, foreign companies can test drones, robotic systems, and electronic warfare equipment, as well as receive feedback from the Ukrainian military.
The Brave1 platform notes that dozens of companies are already testing their systems in Ukraine, and their numbers continue to grow. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense emphasizes that not all Western manufacturers are ready to operate at the pace dictated by modern combat conditions.
