More than 130 Ukrainian weapons and military equipment manufacturers have applied for access to TrophyLab, Kyiv’s database of Russian systems recovered from the battlefield.
Applications have also been submitted by more than 300 foreign companies, up from nearly 200 reported in mid-July.
Launched in June, TrophyLab currently contains information on more than 115 captured Russian weapon systems and components across 79 categories and subcategories.
Registered users can access more than 225 studies conducted by Ukrainian scientific institutions, laboratories, and engineering centers.
These include technical documentation, component analyses, photographs, and videos.
Users may also request physical samples or fragments of captured equipment for independent examination.
The data allows researchers and defense manufacturers to analyze Russian systems, examine their design, identify potential vulnerabilities, and develop countermeasures.
Access to TrophyLab “represents a significant contribution by Ukraine to strengthening international security and the defense capabilities of partner countries,” stated the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
Foreign Components in Russian Weapons
In examining captured Russian weapons, Kyiv has also identified foreign-made technology.
Last month, Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence reported finding 5,816 foreign components across 202 types of Russian weapons and military equipment.
The components were found in missiles, attack drones, and armored vehicles, showing that Russian manufacturers continue to use electronics produced in Europe, Asia, and North America despite export restrictions.
Kyiv claims that many of these parts reach Moscow through intermediaries, third countries, and supply routes used to circumvent sanctions and export controls.
