In an Address on Arms Makers’ Day, the President Showcased Over 50 Types of Ukrainian Weapons Developed During the War that Have Already Proven Their Effectiveness

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy recorded a video address on Arms Makers’ Day against the backdrop of the latest Ukrainian developments that have already demonstrated their effectiveness.

The video features 56 types of weapons, including 31 drones – long-range drones, FPVs, bombers, reconnaissance drones, strike kamikaze drones, and interceptors – as well as 7 missiles, 4 electronic warfare systems, 6 ground robotic systems, one air defense turret, 3 unmanned naval systems, and 4 specialized armored vehicles.

In particular, Volodymyr Zelenskyy highlighted long-range missile weapons, including:

The Flamingo long-range, ground-launched cruise missile, whose serial production began in 2025. It is capable of striking targets at a range of up to 3,000 km and carrying a warhead weighing over one ton.

The Ruta cruise missile-drone, designed for strike and reconnaissance missions, with a range of up to 300 km. It began being supplied to Ukrainian defenders in 2024.

The Peklo missile-drone, featuring high speed and maneuverability. Its range is up to 700 km, with a warhead starting from 23 kg.

The R-360 Neptune anti-ship cruise missile, designed to destroy surface and ground targets. Its strike range is up to 300 km, with a 150 kg warhead.

The Palianytsia long-range missile-drone, equipped with a turbojet engine and first successfully used in August 2024.

The Vilkha multiple launch rocket system with a 300 mm guided munition.

These also include long-range Ukrainian drones. Among them is the Sichen strike kamikaze drone, first used in 2023. It has a range of up to 1,400 km and carries a warhead of up to 40 kg.

The Liutyi long-range strike kamikaze drone, adopted into service in 2024. It has a range of up to 2,000 km and a warhead of 50–75 kg.

The Morok long-range drone, first used by Ukrainian warriors in 2023. It can carry 30 kg over a distance of up to 800 km.

The Bars cruise missile-drone, developed in 2024. It is designed to strike targets at a range of up to 700–800 km. It is a mass-produced system equipped with a compact turbojet engine.

The Obriy jet-powered kamikaze drone, first used in 2023. Its range is 800 km, with a warhead of 10 kg.

The FP-1 long-range strike kamikaze drone, with a range of up to 1,600 km and a warhead of up to 120 kg. It was first used in 2025.

Ground robotic systems, thanks to which, for the first time in the history of this war, Ukrainian warriors captured an enemy position using exclusively unmanned platforms.

In total, Ukrainian ground robotic systems have carried out more than 22,000 missions on the frontline in just three months. These include the RATEL H, which transports cargo and ammunition to positions, evacuates the wounded, and deploys additional technical equipment.

The TerMIT, a multifunctional ground robotic system designed for logistics, casualty evacuation, mine-laying, and fire support.

The Ardal, intended for logistics tasks, casualty evacuation, reconnaissance, and ammunition delivery.

The Rys unmanned ground vehicle, used for cargo transport, medical evacuation, and the deployment of remotely operated weapons.

The Zmiy next-generation armored robotic platform, developed for cargo transport, equipment evacuation, and support of units in combat zones. 

The Protector heavy unmanned ground system, designed for the safety of warriors during logistics and combat missions in all terrain and weather conditions.

The Volia-E, intended for fire support, reconnaissance, and operations in high-risk areas without the involvement of personnel.

Ukraine has also had to combat the enemy fleet, air strikes, and sea mines. Naval drones have helped in all of this. In particular, the Sea Baby multipurpose surface kamikaze drone, developed by the Security Service of Ukraine for attacks on Russian ships and targets in the Black Sea.

The Magura V5 multipurpose strike naval drone, developed for the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. The Magura V5 became the world’s first drone to sink a warship.

The Sargan-3000 naval unmanned combat system, a multipurpose platform that has completed testing and been adopted by the Ukrainian Navy. These USVs feature high maneuverability and are capable of carrying out strike missions.

“Our missiles, our unmanned systems, our interceptors, attack and naval drones, reconnaissance systems, artillery, our ammunition, armored vehicles, robotic platforms, and much more. All that today is truly proudly called – the weapons of Ukraine. They defend our skies, our cities and villages, save lives, and prove that “Made in Ukraine” is synonymous with effectiveness and strength,” the Head of State emphasized.
