Ukraine opens TrophyLab portal to share captured Russian and North Korean arms data

Ukraine has opened TrophyLab, a portal giving approved users access to technical data from captured Russian military hardware. Yurii Myronenko, inspector general for Ukraine's defense ministry, said 150 users registered in the portal's first week, with roughly a third of requests coming from abroad.

He described the project as an "unprecedented" effort to expose Russian and North Korean military secrets. The site, officially launched on June 19, catalogs more than 150 samples across about 80 categories and includes over 225 completed research projects. Its inventory lists missiles, drones, armored vehicles, air-defense systems, artillery, electronic equipment and other weaponry, notably the North Korean KN-23 short-range ballistic missile.

Access is intended for Ukrainian soldiers and defense companies, research organizations, government agencies, foreign governments, arms makers and specialized laboratories, including those in NATO countries.
