A new Ukrainian development was showcased at the Defense Innovations Forum in Kyiv for the first time. According to its developers, the Trembita missile is capable of reaching Moscow, according to the Telegram channel of Ukraine's Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov.
According to Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, on February 21, Kyiv hosted the largest defense innovation forum in Ukraine’s history. The Defense Tech Innovations Forum showcased hundreds of technologies, ranging from UAVs to missiles.
At this forum, a Ukrainian-made drone-missile was displayed up close for the first time. It is a cruise missile capable of reaching speeds of up to 400 km/h

According to the developers, the missile's warhead weighs 20 kilograms.
"It can reach the enemy's strategic targets. It will reach Moscow as well," the developers of the missile assert.
As stated at the exhibition, a smaller version of the missile is designed to serve as a decoy target. However, the company is already working on developing a combat-configured version of this model.
What is known about the characteristics and purpose of the missile
The development of the missile was first reported in the spring of 2023. The project was led by engineers from the PARS volunteer design bureau, with the participation of volunteers from the VidSich public organization. The goal was to create a small cruise missile capable of striking enemy targets and exhausting enemy air defense systems.
"Our simple missile is incomparably cheaper than the enemy's surface-to-air missile launches," the developers said at the time.

Additionally, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently showcased Ukrainian-made weaponry, including domestic shells and drones.
He noted that since the start of the full-scale war, Ukraine’s domestic arms production has significantly increased, now accounting for 34% of total output, compared to less than 10% previously.
