Ukraine has decided to share data analyzing the vulnerabilities and technical information of captured Russian weapons with its allies.
On June 20, Mikhailo Fedorov, Ukraine's Minister of Defense, announced via social media the launch of a secure platform called "Trophy Lab," which will allow global allies to access analyses of Russian weapon technologies.
The platform includes technical data and reports on captured weapons, such as missiles and drones, along with information on vulnerabilities identified during the analysis process.
Fedorov stated, "Users will be able to significantly shorten the development cycle for countermeasures against Russian weapons by utilizing publicly available information. All missiles, drones, and vehicles captured on the battlefield will now serve as a source of knowledge for the free world."
Fedorov is recognized for playing a key role in enhancing Ukraine's drone capabilities.
Appointed as Minister of Defense in January at the age of 34, he has actively promoted the development of domestic drones to replace Chinese-made combat drones.
Previously, the Ukrainian military primarily used Chinese-made DJI Mavic drones for aerial reconnaissance, but concerns about reliance on Chinese equipment due to the close ties between China and Russia had been raised within the military.
Fedorov has also supported the development of artificial intelligence (AI) weapons and defense systems based on data accumulated from the battlefield.
Before becoming Minister of Defense, he served as the Minister for Digital Transformation, overseeing information technology (IT) policy, and he founded and operated a social media company after studying sociology and business administration at university. He later joined President Volodymyr Zelensky's advisory team in 2019.
