Systems are being modernized. Technologies are being mastered. New technologies are emerging.

According to him, robotic offshore platforms are being improved: in particular, they are being equipped with systems to hit small surface and air targets, as well as to strike at the coasts.
"This technique works - that's the most important thing. It gives results. The people who work on this equipment produce results. One third of the destroyed combat potential of the Russian Black Sea Fleet is the most decent indicator. And all of this is thanks to the work of each of you - without you, it would not have happened. I would like to thank you once again for this," said Kyrylo Budanov.
The Chief of Ukrainian Intelligence expressed gratitude to all participants of the United24 charity initiative for their assistance and support in the development of the latest types of weapons.
