Ukraine is offering its front lines as a live testing ground for cutting-edge foreign weapons through a new initiative called “Test in Ukraine,” launched by Brave1 — a government-backed defense technology incubator.

The program invites allied arms manufacturers to trial their latest systems in real combat conditions against Russian forces. In exchange, Brave1 provides comprehensive battlefield performance data, real-time feedback for enhancements, and opportunities for co-production and rapid deployment in partnership with Ukrainian defense firms.
