During the tests of new Ukrainian weapons and military equipment held at a military range of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, all the models have shown their high efficiency and will significantly strengthen Ukraine's military potential after they are taken into service, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) Oleksandr Turchynov has said.

"All the new developments of the Ukrainian defense industry that have been tested have demonstrated their high efficiency, and after they are taken into service, they will greatly strengthen our military potential," the NSDC's press service quoted Turchynov as saying on Friday after the tests.

According to him, aviation tests were carried out on a new operational and tactical unmanned vehicle, "which is capable of carrying out reconnaissance, coordinating fire, ensuring communication at operative depths of up to 200 km, which is stable from the impact of electronic warfare and can stay in the air for up to 24 hours," and also a military unmanned system, which can carry a powerful explosive or thermobaric combat charge and accurately hit targets in the deep rear of the enemy.

"These unmanned complexes were created by Ukrainian arms enterprises in cooperation with our foreign partners," Turchynov said.

In addition, flight performance of Ukrainian light multi-purpose helicopters Scout and AK1-3 was demonstrated.

According to Turchynov, these helicopters are capable of conducting reconnaissance and ensuring rapid communication in the troops, as well as carrying out border protection tasks.

The modernized ZU-23-2 air defense system was also tested.

"The combination of this reliable air defense system with an electronic system of automatic target location and fire management will reliably destroy air and ground targets, in particular, UAVs in service with the Russian Federation," he said.

New Ukrainian-made ammunition was demonstrated and tested at the firing ground, in particular, RS-80 missiles suitable for use in various applications.
