Bottom line
We help key decision makers understand what actually works on the Ukrainian battlefield.
Direct defense consulting from Ukraine. Our assessments rest on what a vendor cannot supply: first-hand experience with the systems, and direct access to the people who field them. The battlefield sets the tempo now, global security runs on it, and so do we.
What you get
-
Field
Trials and operator access
Your system in Ukraine, in the hands of the people who would actually carry it: onsite testing, then the debrief with the operators themselves rather than a write-up of it.
In Ukraine
-
Written
Assessment and market analysis
Where a platform or capability stands against real use, and where the Ukrainian defense market is actually moving. We also tell you what we would not buy.
Remote
-
Network
Introductions
Warm introductions to units, manufacturers, OEMs and integrators. We choose them against what you are building, not against who we happen to know. Openings meant to end in a joint venture, not a courtesy call.
Either
We set scope per project and deliver in weeks. We do not set that pace: the modern battlefield and the security challenges around it do. Anything slower returns an answer that has already expired.
The gap
Frontline adaptation runs in weeks. Western procurement runs in years.
Most analysis of this war comes from people who have never had to make a system work under jamming, at night, with whatever was in the truck. The picture they produce is broadly true and specifically wrong, and specifics are where the money goes: procurement lists, capability roadmaps, term sheets. We close that distance.
Track record
- Publication
- Monthly market research on Ukraine's defense technology sector, platform by platform: what is entering service, what survives contact, and what that means for procurement and investment. Every figure carries a source the reader can check.
- Advisory
- We advise venture funds on where Ukrainian defense technology is heading, and connect them directly with the companies building it.
- Research
- We work with Western academic institutions on how artificial intelligence is actually used in this war, and where the claims outrun the evidence.
- Founder
- Dmytro Zhluktenko, Ukrainian drone pilot, analyst and warfighter. He has flown the missions and written the analysis for key decision makers, and reads a platform on three registers at once: how it behaves under fire; what it costs to field; and what it means politically.

Bring one question. We will tell you honestly whether it is ours to answer.
