An incredibly eventful day at the MSPO 2026 arms exhibition in Kielce, Poland.

Last night, Russia again massively attacked Ukraine — Kyiv, Kyiv region, Odesa region. There are casualties and injuries, destroyed apartment buildings… And a significant portion of the “Shaheds” that flew at us were reactive.

This is why we are seeking specific solutions at the exhibition: how we can strengthen air defense in the face of missile shortages and how to bring Ukrainian developments to reliable performance against reactive targets.

There are hundreds of weapons manufacturers from around the world here, but additionally, 15 Ukrainian companies are represented at the Zbroya stand. Each one is already a known name in national defense. Ark Robotics, December1, DevDroid, DoD Solution, General Cherry, GRIM Tech, Gurzuf Defence, L7 Simulators, LFTX, STG Defence, TAF Industries, UARMS, Victorysoft. We have interacted with most of them in joint projects, similar developments, analytical and production work.

Innovative solutions in drone systems, drone interception, electronic warfare, autonomous navigation, ground robotics, military simulators, and protective equipment — very cool, forward-thinking, and modern manufacturers.

Met old acquaintances and met new future stars of the domestic defense industry.

But there is much work and many meetings ahead with not only ours but also Western manufacturers.

For the first time since its development, you can see the “Ai-Petri” complex, which we are actively supplying to the military. And it is presented at the largest security and defense technology exhibition in Central and Eastern Europe, MSPO 2026.

For two years, we protected our technology against enemy technical reconnaissance under the “secret” label. Only now have we found a way to protect intellectual property and hide from the enemy what they should not know.

At the exhibition, Ukraine is represented at a high level and offers comprehensive solutions for the whole world. One of the central exhibits of new technologies, of course, is our “Ai-Petri” complex, which has long been talked about not only in Ukraine but also in Europe.

“Ai-Petri” is an example of how Ukrainian inventions should be two steps ahead of enemy technology. Being smarter and more efficient — blinding enemy UAVs, diverting them from the final target, countering guided aerial bombs. This is exactly why our military values “Ai-Petri”.

Today, there were many representatives of partner countries, foreign embassies, and our friends from the Armed Forces near our stand. For us, this is a signal that the goal of participating in this exhibition is justified.

I want to thank our Armed Forces, thanks to which we can work today. Our team, which produces “Ai-Petri” and develops other technologies for the military.

We hope to return to Ukraine with an agreement on the possible supply of new technologies that can improve our developments and counteract reactive “Shaheds”.

For two years, “Ai-Petri” was hidden under a camouflage net at each presentation. But today you can see its combat appearance.

We have found a way to protect intellectual property while not revealing anything unnecessary to the enemy.

The complexes have long and actively been going to the troops. And now it stands at MSPO 2026 — the main security and defense technology exhibition in Central and Eastern Europe. Ukrainian representatives brought comprehensive solutions here, which we offer to the whole world. “Ai-Petri” is among the central ones.

The key task of our complex is to counter enemy technical reconnaissance, depriving enemy UAVs of “sight”, hindering “Shaheds” from reaching the target, and working against guided aerial bombs. But the main evaluation comes from our military, who use it daily.

We must win this war with technology, as it is the only option we have.
