The Weapons of World War III. Ukrainian Experience

Journalist Roman Romaniuk delves into Ukraine’s defence sector, revealing the stories behind its most iconic military innovations: the Neptune missile, which sank the Moskva warship; the naval drones that made the Crimean Bridge tremble in dread; the Bohdana self-propelled howitzer, which drove Russian forces from Zmiinyi (Snake) Island; the Baba Yaga bombers — and other weapons until recently unknown to the wider world.

The Weapons of World War III: Ukrainian Experience is the first book to chart modern Ukrainian armaments and their evolution from bold ideas to groundbreaking innovations — technologies reshaping not only the course of the Russo-Ukrainian war, but ultimately the very future of the world.
