The industry rallied almost unanimously in support of one of its most prominent representatives, with Mykhalko responding in an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the plus side\u00a0\u2013 Ukraine conducted its first tests of domestically produced glide bombs, confirmed combat use of the \u201cPeklo\u201d rocket drone, and armed the Katran naval drone with weapons boasting a 100 km range. More on this in Dorozvidka #14. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kateryna Mykhalko on the Honcharenko scandal and arms exports<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On 26 June, MP Oleksii Honcharenko posted on Facebook about 24-year-old Kateryna Mykhalko, Executive Director of the private arms manufacturers\u2019 association \u201cUkraine\u2019s Tech Forces\u201d (UTF). The MP incorrectly claimed that UTF handles arms exports and questioned how someone so young could hold such a position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The post triggered a wave of support for Mykhalko from the defence tech community and beyond. Two examples: a response from Yaroslav Azhniuk, founder of Odd Systems and Fourth Law, and a post by entrepreneur and investor Denys Dovhopolyi. In response to criticism from Honcharenko and several Telegram channels, opinion leaders launched a social media campaign sharing achievements they made by the age of 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forbes Ukraine followed up with an <a href=\"https:\/\/forbes.ua\/innovations\/skandal-pidnyav-temu-shchob-bilshe-lyudey-ishlo-v-oboronku-vik-24-richnoi-katerini-mikhalko-z-obednannya-zbroyariv-viklikav-rezonans-cherez-post-nardepa-yakimi-proektami-vona-zaymaetsya-naspravdi-28062025-30912\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">interview with Mykhalko<\/a>, where she outlined UTF\u2019s real work, explained how her civilian background contributes to defence, and discussed the regulatory barriers faced by Ukraine\u2019s defence tech industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cPeklo\u201d rocket drones already in combat use<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian Telegram channels have helped verify the first combat use of Ukraine\u2019s \u201cPeklo\u201d jet-powered drones, showing video footage of wreckage after an attack on a road crossing in Luhansk region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/b0quyir6pmxxguskxthr-1024x713.webp\" alt=\"Peklo drone in the warehouse\" class=\"wp-image-6179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/b0quyir6pmxxguskxthr-1024x713.webp 1024w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/b0quyir6pmxxguskxthr-300x209.webp 300w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/b0quyir6pmxxguskxthr-768x534.webp 768w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/b0quyir6pmxxguskxthr-1536x1069.webp 1536w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/b0quyir6pmxxguskxthr.webp 1940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jet-powered drones\/cruise missiles Peklo.

According to the designers, the results were promising in terms of range, release mechanics, and glide characteristics. The bomb currently achieves a 60 km range, with plans to increase this to 80 km. However, the team says they lack funding to speed up development and further trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Katran naval drone now armed with 100 km-range strike capability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Militarnyi <a href=\"https:\/\/militarnyi.com\/uk\/news\/katran-otrymav-dalekobijne-ozbroyennya-dalnist-urazhennya-do-100-km\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">spoke<\/a> with \u201cThe Ninth\u201d, a GUR MO special operations officer from the \u201cBlack Sea Legion\u201d, about naval operations and the use of Katran sea drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Katran is a Ukrainian maritime drone capable of autonomous target acquisition and strike.
