MSPO-2026: 1,000 Participants From 40 Countries — What Ukraine Will Present

Ukrainian defense companies will present their developments at the MSPO international defense industry exhibition in Kielce, Poland.

A total of 29 Ukrainian manufacturers have announced their participation in MSPO-2026. Some will present their products at a joint Ukrainian stand supported by the Ukrainian Council of Defense Industry, while others will have separate exhibitions. Overall, the event will bring together 1,000 participants from 40 countries.

Targi Kielce organizes the 34th International Defense Industry Exhibition. Poland’s Ministry of National Defense is the main partner of MSPO-2026, while the country’s largest defense group, Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ), is the strategic partner.

The exhibition is also held under the honorary patronage of Polish President Karol Nawrocki.

Canada will play a special role this year after receiving Lead Nation status. The Canadian national exhibition will bring together the country’s defense and technology companies and provide a platform for negotiations and B2B meetings. The Polish Armed Forces exhibition will also traditionally be held as part of MSPO, with this year’s edition focusing on innovation and artificial intelligence technologies.

Some companies are also preparing premieres of new developments. Some of these systems are already being used on the front line but will be presented to a broad international audience for the first time at MSPO.

For Ukraine’s defense industry, the exhibition in Kielce will be more than a venue for displaying products. Manufacturers expect to establish new contacts with European partners, discuss production localization, attract investment and explore potential contracts.

The participants include manufacturers that are members of the Militarnyi Alliance. They will demonstrate unmanned systems, drone interceptors, electronic warfare systems and unmanned ground vehicles.

UKRSPECSYSTEMS Preparing Several Premieres

UKRSPECSYSTEMS will have a presence at MSPO at two locations — its own stand and the NAUDI stand.

The association’s stand will feature the PD-2 and Shark reconnaissance unmanned systems.

At its own stand, UKRSPECSYSTEMS will present the Shark-M, the One Punch interceptor and several new systems whose names have not yet been disclosed ahead of the exhibition.

They will be presented to the public for the first time on September 8. The company said some of these developments are already operating on the front line, with their results appearing in situation reports, unit videos, and news reports.

Visitors will also be able to speak with UKRSPECSYSTEMS equipment operators from the 15th Separate Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade “Black Forest” and learn about its combat use.

“MSPO is the largest defense platform in Central and Eastern Europe, and those who make procurement decisions on NATO’s eastern flank come here. For the Ukrainian industry, this is the shortest route to these customers,” the company said.

UKRSPECSYSTEMS also sees the exhibition as a platform for discussing production localization, new orders, and potential investment under European programs.

Ukrainian Armor to Present UGV, Combat Drones, and New Developments

Ukrainian Armor will present the Protector unmanned ground vehicle, as well as several drone versions equipped with warheads using explosively formed penetrators and fiber-optic control.

In addition to robotic systems and unmanned aircraft, the Ukrainian manufacturer will bring artillery ammunition, armored vehicles, mines, and mortars to Poland.

MSPO will traditionally serve as a platform for the company to present new developments. This year, Ukrainian Armor plans to present several new systems developed using real-world combat experience.

During the exhibition, the company will also hold a series of meetings with leading European and global arms manufacturers.

Ukrainian Armor views international exhibitions as a strategic platform for finding opportunities to develop and scale up production.

The company plans to seek foreign partners to integrate advanced Western technologies and to develop and jointly produce new weapons and military equipment.

At the same time, the company notes that it remains focused on supplying Ukraine’s Defense Forces, while new contracts and partnerships are intended to help strengthen the combat capabilities of Ukrainian troops.

TAF Industries to Exhibit at Three Stands

Ukrainian company TAF Industries will present its defense technology ecosystem at three MSPO stands.

The Ukrainian Council of Defense Industry’s joint stand will feature the Kolibri 10 Advance UAV, the Kolibri 17 FR1 relay carrier, the TAF Kolibri-i10 interceptor, and the Kvazar A electronic warfare system.

The Teslia and Lehit L unmanned ground vehicles will be presented at the NAUDI association’s stand.

Meanwhile, TAF Industries’ own stand will feature a broader range of developments. The exhibition will include the Kolibri 10 Advance and Kolibri 13, the Kolibri 17 FR1 relay carrier, the Kolibri 15-O fiber-optic FPV drone, the Kolibri-i10 interceptor, the Kvazar A and Kvazar 3M electronic warfare systems, the Babka reconnaissance UAV, and the Lehit S UGV.

The company does not currently plan to sign new agreements directly during the exhibition. However, MSPO will take place after TAF Industries began cooperation with Poland’s defense industry.

TAF Industries said its presence at the exhibition is intended to highlight cooperation with Polish partners and demonstrate demand for Ukrainian defense technologies on the Polish market.

In June, the company signed a partnership agreement with Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa to localize drone production in Poland.

Deviro to Demonstrate Updated Unmanned Systems

Ukrainian company Deviro will bring a new version of its M2R unmanned system to Kielce, featuring an updated camera.
The manufacturer will also present the Bulava V2, which has slightly larger dimensions, as well as a simulator using the company’s own software.

The company is not currently planning any separate premieres or agreements during MSPO.

Deviro said its main objectives at the exhibition are to present the latest product updates, establish contacts with potential partners, and explore opportunities for future cooperation.

Ptashka Drones to Present New Drone Detector

Ptashka Drones will showcase the Ptashka 17-O-50 km system at MSPO, equipped with a digital daylight camera for long-distance missions.

Visitors will also see the updated Ptashka 2.0 manual counter-drone system.

The company’s main premiere will be the new Ptashka drone detector.

According to the manufacturer, the device analyzes video-signal parameters rather than signal strength alone. This is intended to reduce false detections and speed up FPV signal detection.

The detector automatically displays the intercepted video stream on its built-in screen, showing the active signal and frequencies. It simultaneously scans three frequency bands, is equipped with a 10,000 mAh battery, and supports wireless software updates via Wi-Fi.

Ptashka Drones is also negotiating possible cooperation with several international defense companies. The manufacturer plans to announce any signed contracts or memorandums separately.

The company views participation in MSPO as an opportunity to strengthen ties with the European defense industry, establish component supplies, attract investment, and present Ukrainian solutions in unmanned technologies and counter-drone systems.

From Demonstration to Cooperation With Europe

Ukrainian manufacturers’ participation in MSPO shows that international exhibitions are becoming more than opportunities for defense companies to demonstrate new equipment.

Ukrainian manufacturers are bringing systems developed from modern warfare experience to Kielce while also seeking opportunities to scale up production with European partners.

At the same time, some of this cooperation is already moving from negotiations to concrete projects. One example is TAF Industries’ agreement with Polish defense group PGZ to localize drone production.

At the exhibition, Ukrainian companies will present both established systems and new developments in reconnaissance, FPV drones, enemy drone interception, electronic warfare, and unmanned ground systems.
