Ukraine opens catalog of captured Russian weapons to 430 defense firms

Ukraine says over 430 firms have applied to access TrophyLab, its new catalog of 115 types of captured Russian weapons and equipment, launched in June. The platform offers data and physical samples for study. More than 130 Ukrainian defense firms and 300 foreign companies have applied, with access limited to vetted domestic manufacturers, scientific institutions, military units, and screened partner-country firms. The database includes over 225 blueprints, component analyses, and schematics from active combat units and intelligence services. The initiative supports Ukraine's broader push to share battlefield data with allies, including frontline drone footage with the UK and Germany, and offers firms testing opportunities under its "Test in Ukraine" program.
