TAF Industries

Defense marketsecurityCurated record

Ukraine's largest UAV producer (~1,000 employees across 20+ production sites), manufacturing up to 80,000 FPV drones per month plus more than 30 Ministry-of-Defense-certified products including the TAF-U1 BABKA reconnaissance UAV complex, electronic-warfare systems, short-range missiles and AI-enabled battlefield reconnaissance technologies. Its first product, the Kolibri FPV drone, was combat-proven and MoD-certified early in the full-scale invasion. In February 2026 signed a joint venture with Germany's Wingcopter (MoU at the Munich Security Conference) to license-produce the BABKA at scale in Germany under the 'Build with Ukraine' initiative, with future platforms targeted at NATO/EU markets.
