At the IDEF-2025 international defense exhibition in Istanbul, Ukrainian defense companies present their innovations, marking one of the largest events in the region.

"Our stand features 17 companies from Ukraine's defense sector. We strive to participate in all major arms exhibitions, as it is crucial for our production development, establishing partnerships, and finding potential customers," said Sergey Goncharov, Executive Director of the National Association of Defense Industry (NAUDI).

The Ukrainian stand showcases manufacturers of UAVs, electronic warfare systems, armored vehicles, weapons, and ammunition, as well as battlefield management systems.

"Ukraine is currently at the forefront of advanced technologies due to our active combat against a formidable adversary. Our soldiers gain invaluable experience, which serves as our advantage. Foreign clients are keen to see what we offer that may be relevant to their needs," explained Goncharov.

According to him, the products of the Ukrainian defense industry are of great interest to military agencies from various countries, making the NAUDI stand always busy.

The National Association of Defense Industry (NAUDI), established in 2020, unites leading Ukrainian manufacturers of military and dual-use technology, weapons, and ammunition. Currently, NAUDI companies are key suppliers for the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and other military formations.

The IDEF international defense exhibition is a powerful platform for showcasing defense technology products, with around 1500 companies from over 50 countries participating.

IDEF-2025 will take place in Istanbul from July 22 to 27. This year, nearly a thousand local companies and over 400 foreign companies are expected to participate. The exhibition anticipates 219 delegations from a hundred countries and international organizations.
