Once launched, the munition autonomously calculates and adjusts its own flight path toward the target, maintaining accuracy even under enemy electronic warfare interference. This capability allows it to strike fortifications, bunkers, and other hardened enemy positions from a safe distance for the launching platform.<\/p>\n   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developers tested the system on Ukraine&#8217;s primary bomber drones, where it demonstrated effectiveness and proved ready for large-scale production.<\/p>\n   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The path toward mass production was established by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 1310, dated October 13, 2025, which authorizes the Ministry of Defense to transfer usage rights for the technology to private defense companies. Manufacturers and innovators working with Brave1 can now help scale up Firefly production and integrate the ready-made technology into their own manufacturing.<\/p>\n   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technological superiority over the enemy remains one of the core priorities of Ukraine&#8217;s defense strategy. In the first half of this year alone, the Ministry of Defense codified and approved 1,184 new models of weapons and military equipment for the Defense Forces, more than 90% of which were manufactured domestically. The arsenal was also expanded with over 200 new types of ammunition.<\/p>\n   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As previously reported, the Ministry of Defense also codified and approved the Zmiy Mini Strike unmanned ground vehicle for use by Ukraine&#8217;s Armed Forces.<\/p>\n   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/eu-expects-continued-cooperation-and-reforms-after-ukraine-s-government-reshuffle\/\">EU Expects Continued Cooperation and Reforms After Ukraine\u2019s Government Reshuffle<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine&#8217;s Ministry of Defense has developed a new class of guided munitions &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1412366,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,49,36415,55],"tags":[76],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1412365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","category-ukraine-en","tag-glavnoe-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
