Of the 1,678 codified models of weapons and military equipment, 1,530 units-or 91.2%-were manufactured at Ukrainian enterprises.

-
2022 – 110 models in total, of which 60 (54.5%) were manufactured in Ukraine;
2023 – 480 in total, of which 295 (61.5%) were manufactured in Ukraine;
2024 – 1,409 in total, of which 1,051 (74.6%) were manufactured in Ukraine;
2025 – 2,050 in total, of which 1,427 (69.6%) were manufactured in Ukraine;
2026, as of September 25 – 1,678 in total, of which 1,530 (91.2%) were manufactured in Ukraine.
The Ministry of Defense also noted a significant increase in the share of domestically produced military equipment for the armed forces' needs. Since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, this figure has risen by 67.3%.
