Ukraine tests Barvinok-K, a domestically produced guided artillery shell, aimed at accurately striking high-value targets with precision on the first attempt.

One of the key breakthroughs of the Barvinok-K program is the complete removal of foreign-made components, making the munition fully domestically produced—an important step for Ukraine’s defense industry amid wartime supply constraints.

The shell uses a semi-active laser guidance system, allowing its flight path to be corrected during the terminal phase of engagement. In practical terms, this means the projectile homes in on a laser-designated target, enabling significantly higher accuracy than conventional unguided artillery rounds.
