In September 2025, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry approved nearly 110 new types of weapons and military equipment for service in the defense forces.

The Main Directorate for Lifecycle Support of Weapons and Equipment reported that this number includes 80 domestically produced systems, more than 40% more than in August.

What was accepted into service: drones, engineering equipment, robots

Among the domestically produced systems admitted are primarily unmanned aerial systems, engineering equipment, motor vehicles, and ammunition. Also among the novelties are:

• electronic warfare and reconnaissance systems
• communications gear
• rear-area equipment
• demining tools
• ground robotic complexes.

FPV drone “Lupinis-10-TFL-1” and the TFL-1 autonomy module

As an example, last month Ukraine codified the FPV drone “Lupinis-10-TFL-1” with first-level autonomy and the TFL-1 autonomy module, announced Yaroslav Azhnyuk, co-founder of Odd Systems and CEO of “Fourth Law.”

The Lupinis-10-TFL-1 is designed for strike tasks. Its key feature is autonomous flight of more than 30 km with a combat payload of up to 1 kg.

The drone is resistant to electronic warfare measures, does not rely on radio horizons, and maintains accuracy even in areas of active jamming. The TFL-1 autonomy module handles guidance: using artificial intelligence algorithms, it tracks the target contour and steers the drone to its center.

Ground robotic platforms: transport and battlefield support

In addition to aerial systems, new developments include a ground robotic platform named VATAG intended for battlefield work. Its capabilities include transporting over two tons of cargo, navigation without GPS, supporting logistics, and participating in direct combat.

Special modes include a silent mode for covert operations, a mobile “powerbank” function to recharge frontline units, and increased resistance to electronic-warfare effects.
