TAF Industries
One of Ukraine's largest drone makers — FPV strike, reconnaissance, and electronic-warfare systems plus the Lehit ground robots.
TAF Industries is one of Ukraine’s largest drone manufacturers, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Kyiv, with production spread across roughly twenty sites. It was built around its combat-proven Kolibri FPV strike drones and has since expanded into reconnaissance UAVs, electronic-warfare systems, and the Lehit family of ground robots, which carry logistics, evacuate the wounded, or mount weapons.
In February 2026 the company signed a memorandum with Germany’s Wingcopter to manufacture its Babka reconnaissance drone on German soil for Ukrainian forces — the Babka was one of seven joint-venture systems shown to President Zelensky and Chancellor Merz in Berlin in the spring of 2026. The company is now led by chief executive Volodymyr Zinovskyi, who took over in January 2026 from founder Oleksandr Yakovenko.
