Made in Ukraine: pictures of unique designs for combat aviation

In Ukraine, Kyiv’s Scientific Production Enterprise "Aircraft Systems of Ukraine" is actively working on the development of new parachute cargo systems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces airplanes.

This was reported by Sergii Zgurets, director of the consulting company Defense Express, on his Facebook page.

The company works for both the domestic market and export. In particular, it plans to make some extensive deliveries of large systems (nine domes, each with an area of 350 square meters) to one of the Asian countries.

“In order to understand the scale of this system’s production – there was only one USSR factory that could produce such volumes. This is a several year order. Therefore, it is a new challenge for our company to face. We need to create a unique production, the only one of its kind in Ukraine. But we take all serious challenges with enthusiasm, and we’ll eagerly invest our best effort and resources in this new project,” the company’s director, Egor Kovalenko, states.

“Speaking about the Ukrainian Air Force, we’re starting tests of the two new systems at once – PTK-10 and PTK-29 with MiG-29 and SU-27. These are the two main machines of the Ukrainian Air Force. The next step will be this summer – PTK-6 and PTK-25 with SU-24 and SU-25 accordingly,” Zgurets adds.

As “Apostrophe” reported earlier, new Ukrainian army’s technologies will be presented at the competition of defense technologies in Kyiv: satellites, airguns and lasers for treatment.
