Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense is rolling out a new project aimed at “transforming its defense management system”.
During its final meeting on Monday, the project leaders led by Ukaine’s defense ministry discussed its launch, which was made possible thanks to “support from international advisors from the US, Canada, the UK, and Lithuania”.
Defense deputy minister Ivan Gavrylyuk said Ukraine now has tools to plan effectively and forecast long-term needs as “adapting quickly is crucial in wartime to secure necessary resources”.
The project focuses on effective integration of a wide range weapons and military equipment provided from international partners. It will also introduce an automated inventory system for these arms.
Another deputy minister Stanislav Gaidar pointed out that “the revamped planning, programming, budgeting, and execution processes will not only streamline operations but also align Ukraine’s defense capabilities with NATO standards”.
Key achievements of the project include:
- Developing a new architecture for defense capability programs
- Updating the planning and budgeting model
- Establishing a project management framework
- Creating a comprehensive defense management system model and implementation roadmap
In related news, the Ministry of Defense has recently signed two major contracts with Ukrainian defense firms worth nearly 5 billion hryvnias. These deals were finalized during a working visit by President Volodymyr Zelensky and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
