The event brought together participants from more than 120 countries and over 1,700 companies showcasing the latest developments in defence industry technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UCDI represented Ukraine\u2019s private defence manufacturers through the ZBROYA exposition \u2014 a joint national pavilion featuring 15 companies. During the exhibition, the ZBROYA pavilion welcomed thousands of visitors, while participating companies held more than 100 B2B meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the event, the Ukrainian Arms Council also signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in innovation and technological development with the SAHA \u0130stanbul Defence &amp; Aerospace Cluster Association. In addition, the Council\u2019s Executive Director, <a href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/tags\/ihor-fedirko\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/tags\/ihor-fedirko\/\">Ihor Fedirko<\/a>, took part in the panel discussion \u201cFPV Drones and New Approaches in Asymmetric Warfare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Fedirko, SAHA 2026 once again demonstrated strong global interest in Ukrainian defence industry products, attracting visitors from the Baltic states to the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnsurprisingly, unmanned systems drew the greatest attention, particularly interceptor drones, as well as other short-range air defence solutions such as detection systems, radar technologies, acoustic sensors, and signal jamming systems,\u201d he said. \u201cDemand for ground robotic systems is also steadily growing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
