All technologies shown at SAHA 2026 already deployed on frontlines – RAROG

Ukrainian defense technology company RAROG showcased its developments in armor protection, equipment, strike drones, and integrated frontline solutions at the international defense exhibition SAHA 2026 in Istanbul. All of these products are already deployed in combat conditions.

RAROG UDI Group representative Andrii Kulikov said in comments to Ukrinform at the joint Ukrainian Council of Defense Industry stand.

“Everything we are demonstrating at SAHA 2026 in Istanbul is already being used on the frontlines and has received positive feedback from units. That is why we brought these solutions here — they are our flagship developments, proven effective in combat,” he said.

At the stand, the company presented products from RAROG Aerospace, special munitions from Rendrock, and armor protection and combat gear from RAROG Tactical Gear.

Kulikov noted that the key advantage of Ukrainian developments today is their adaptation to the realities of modern warfare.

“Most solutions appearing on the market may be technologically interesting but lack real combat experience. Our products are created together with the military and constantly improved thanks to frontline feedback,” he said.

RAROG Aerospace displayed a line of strike drones, including the RAROG KRL‑60 kamikaze drone. “Its distinctive feature is a reverse‑swept wing, which provides better control during target approach. A specially designed munition ensures optimal balance and flight stability,” Kulikov explained.

Beyond strike drones, RAROG presented a relay drone, a universal ground control station, and equipment transport systems. The company stressed its ongoing cooperation with military units to adapt solutions to emerging frontline needs.

Founded in 2014, RAROG initially specialized in armor protection before expanding into drones and ground systems. Veterans are directly involved in designing gear and protective equipment.

“Our veterans fought, were wounded, and understand the needs of soldiers on the frontlines. That is why we pay close attention to every element of protection and ergonomics,” the company noted.

At the exhibition, RAROG also demonstrated a modular body armor vest with a quick‑release system, enabling rapid first aid for wounded soldiers. Today, the company produces comprehensive frontline solutions — drones, ground stations, relays, munitions, transport systems, FPV‑drone backpacks, and combat gear.
