Defense industry of Ukraine

The defense industry of Ukraine is a strategically important sector and a large employer in Ukraine. Before the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War arms were mostly exported. Arms exports were banned after the outbreak of the full-scale invasion in 2022, but in September 2025 it was announced that controlled exports of surplus arms would be permitted to allow greater financing of arms needed at the frontlines.

Ukraine is a world leader in drone technology, but cannot produce equipment to intercept hypersonic and ballistic missiles.
