Weapon

Over the past three years since the start of the full-scale invasion, hundreds of new weapons have appeared in Ukraine, both provided by foreign partners and developed by Ukrainian inventors. In a case where a single shot from a certain weapon can cost as much as $30,000, and training a single soldier can cost up to $20,000, the ability to train using virtual simulators with dummies that mimic real weapons helps in this process. Logics7 is the company that develops such simulators. Almost on the verge of closure, with the beginning of a full-scale invasion, the company directed all its efforts to help our defenders, and in just one year, the second year of a full-scale war, the company’s revenues increased tenfold. The company’s founder, Igor Belov, told dev.ua how it was possible to achieve such results, what the company offers defenders today, and how Logics7's large-scale plans can help translate real war into the virtual world.

As American drones have «disappointingly» on the battlefield, defense startups have joined forces with Ukrainian manufacturers to create better, war-tested aircraft for the U.S. military. According to the WSJ, American startups have spent billions of dollars in venture capital in the hope of developing small drones that the Pentagon says it needs for future conflicts.
