Amidst the ongoing war and growing demand for unmanned systems, Ukraine is taking a significant step to integrate its defense production into the European industrial ecosystem. Companies **Ukrainian Unmanned Technologies (UUT)** and Danish manufacturer **Vidar Industries** have agreed to establish a joint venture in Denmark. The goal of this ambitious project is to localize the production of the *Ravlyk* (UMP-2) family of unmanned ground robots, which will not only expand capacity but also ensure long-term support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) through reliable European supply chains. ### Technological symbiosis: Ukrainian experience and Danish quality The essence of the partnership lies in combining two powerful competencies. On the Ukrainian side, UUT provides battle-tested technology, a deep understanding of systems engineering, and current requirements for operating equipment in real combat conditions. On the Danish side, Vidar Industries brings expertise in industrialization, production technological preparation, and strict quality management. Furthermore, a key factor is Denmark's experience in complying with regulatory requirements and corporate governance standards, which is critical for scaling production and exports. As representatives of the project initiators note, the creation of such a joint venture is intended to strengthen European supply chains. This is a strategic step that allows for reducing risks associated with logistics and sanctions pressure, ensuring a steady flow of equipment to the front. ### Production scale and plans for 2026 In a comment to RBC-Ukraine, company representatives provided specific figures demonstrating the seriousness of their intentions. The planned annual capacity of the new production facility in Denmark will be about **3,000 units** of unmanned ground complexes (UGC). Already this year, that is in 2026, the first batch of 500 units is planned for release. To implement these plans, about 200 employees will be engaged at the enterprise, creating a significant volume of new jobs in the region. The manufacturer also noted that interest in domestic UGCs from European partners is growing. However, at the current stage, production capacities in Ukraine itself fully cover the internal needs of the AFU, so entering the European market through a joint venture is a logical next step for scaling. ### Ravlyk operational tasks: from logistics to evacuation The *Ravlyk* (UMP-2) robot is not just transport; it is a modular unmanned ground platform developed to solve a wide range of tasks. Its architecture allows the platform to be adapted for different application profiles using functional modules. The main tasks of the robot include: - Logistics and delivery of ammunition to dangerous zones. - Evacuation of wounded soldiers from the battlefield. - Engineering support and demining. - Transporting cargo in conditions dangerous to human life. By transferring dangerous tasks related to the presence of personnel in open areas to robotic systems, Ravlyk significantly reduces risks for military personnel and supports units working in difficult conditions. This is particularly relevant in the context of positional warfare, where minimizing losses among infantry becomes a key factor. ### Contradictory data While the fact of the creation of the joint venture and its goals are confirmed by sources, there are nuances in the implementation details that require attention. On the one hand, the declared production volumes (3,000 units per year) look optimistic and depend on obtaining the necessary permits and concluding relevant commercial agreements, which may be delayed due to bureaucratic procedures in the EU. On the other hand, current production capacity in Ukraine already fully covers the needs of the AFU, raising the question of how quickly Danish production can reach full capacity and whether it will be oriented towards export to NATO countries or exclusively for Ukraine's needs. For now, the exact details of commercial contracts and profit distribution between partners are not disclosed. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: What is Ravlyk? **A:** Ravlyk (UMP-2) is a modular unmanned ground platform developed for logistics, evacuation of the wounded, and engineering support. ### Q: Where will Ravlyk be produced? **A:** Production will be organized at a joint venture in Denmark created by UUT and Vidar Industries. ### Q: What is the capacity of the new factory? **A:** It is planned to produce about 3,000 units per year; the first batch of 500 robots will be released in 2026.
