The French company Alta Ares, with offices in Paris, New York, Athens, and Kyiv, has commenced serial production of interceptor drones in collaboration with Ukrainian developers. One of the company’s key developments is the Pixel-Lock targeting software based on artificial intelligence, which allows for the identification, tracking, and interception of various aerial targets, including drones, aircraft, and guided bombs. Currently, the system is undergoing testing by the Ukrainian military. Although the serial production of these drones is currently organized in France, Alta Ares plans to partially localize the manufacturing of certain components in Ukraine.

Ukraine Launches Serial Production of Ammunition Under Western License
Simultaneously, Ukraine has started serial production of ammunition for tanks and artillery based on a license provided by the Czech defense group Czechoslovak Group to the company “Ukrainian Armored Vehicles.” In addition to the license and technological support, CSG also supplies critically important components, including propellant charges, detonators, and other elements for ammunition production.
First Experience in Localizing Western Large-Caliber Ammunition in Ukraine
This project marks the first instance where a major Western defense company has agreed to localize the production of large-caliber shells directly in Ukraine. Over the course of a year, it is planned to produce up to 100,000 155 mm shells and 50,000 105 mm shells. In the future, production capacity may be increased by another 100%.
