Ukraine will let foreign arms companies test out their latest weapons on the front line of its war against Russia's invasion, Kyiv's state-backed arms investment and procurement group Brave1 said on Thursday.

"We have a list of priorities. One of the top of those would be air defense, like new air defense capabilities, drone interceptors, AI-guided systems, all the solutions against gliding bombs," he said.
Unmanned systems in the water and electronic profile systems on the ground are also on Ukraine's list of priorities, as are advanced fire control systems or AI guidance to make howitzers more accurate.
Under the "Test in Ukraine" scheme, companies would send their products to Ukraine, give some online training on how to use them, then wait for Ukrainian forces to try them out and send back reports, the group said in a statement.
"It gives us understanding of what technologies are available. It gives companies understanding of what is really working on the front line," Artem Moroz, Brave1's head of investor relations, told Reuters at a defense conference in Wiesbaden, Germany.

Sounds like a good way to start WW III.
The chance for companies to display their systems in real world use and learn from it as well, and the free use of those systems by Ukraine against the Russian/North Korean armies, it is win-win.
Maybe Russia can use their testing positions to test out battlefield tactical nukes.
Tucker Carlson said the same thing about Iran. Yawn.
It’s almost August. When is Putin going to launch his Summer Offensive?
If Putin hadn’t blown up Prigozhin, the Prigo would have captured Chasiv Yar and the remainder of Donetsk two years ago. Your Putin is a dumb one.
Isnt that the plan here. Or Ukraine wouldve already taken mercy on its people and yelled uncle.
