UKRSPECSYSTEMS manufactures products in the aviation industry. It started its operations in 2014. Since then, the company has entered the international market and is developing UAVs for the Ukrainian army.

IDEF is an international defense exhibition held in Istanbul, Turkey.

  • On April 27, Ukrspecsystems presented a new drone model for the military called MiniShark at the Brave1 platform exhibition. The new UAV is designed to conduct reconnaissance and search for ground targets, which can then be destroyed by artillery, ground forces or special units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
  • Meanwhile, in December 2022, Ukrspecsystems modified Ukrainian Shark reconnaissance drones by adding a larger battery and larger wings. This doubled the flight time from 2 to 4 hours.
