Ukraine launches ‘TrophyLab’ platform to share captured Russian weapons with allies

(Linus Höller – Defense News) Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense launched an access-controlled online platform last week that provides allied governments, defense companies and research institutions with technical intelligence drawn from captured Russian military hardware − a formalization of what Kyiv has long done informally with select partners. The snazzily branded platform, called TrophyLab and accessible at trophylab.mod.gov.ua, currently catalogs more than 115 samples of seized Russian equipment across 79 categories. Users who pass a vetting process gain access to blueprints, component analyses, schematics, and the findings of Ukrainian state laboratories and intelligence agencies − more than 225 studies at present, according to the ministry. – Ukraine launches ‘TrophyLab’ platform to share captured Russian weapons with allies
