THE CURRENT STATE AND CHALLENGES OF UKRAINE'S SECURITY AND DEFENSE SECTOR AMID THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EXISTING COMBAT REGULATIONS AND THE REALITIES OF THE MODERN BATTLEFIELD

2025-09-15T13:03:49+03:00

The article analyzes the current status of Ukraine's security and defense sector in the context of the russian-ukrainian war. It focuses on the challenges caused by the widespread use of unmanned systems (in particular, FPV drones, multi-rotor copters) and the development of the concept of swarm intelligence (autonomous coordination of drone groups through artificial intelligence). The study compares the provisions of the combat regulations with the conditions of the modern battlefield. That is where traditional tactical approaches have lost their effectiveness as a result of technological changes.

The authors examine the crisis faced by infantry units, the impact of unmanned systems on the operational environment, and the prospects for introducing swarm intelligence as an alternative to outdated doctrines. Their investigation is based on the analysis of open-source data, combat experience, and scholarly works. They also propose a set of recommendations for adapting tactics and personnel training for the new circumstances, covering decentralization of command structures, integration of digital systems, and electronic warfare reinforcement.

ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE LOADING COEFFICIENT AND GEOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF FRAGMENT ELEMENTS ON THE PENETRATION CAPABILITY OF RADIAL-AXIAL HIGH-EXPLOSIVE FRAGMENTATION PROJECTILES

2025-09-16T09:34:12+03:00

The article examines how the relative explosive charge (loading coefficient) and the fragment shape parameter affect the ballistic effectiveness of radial-axial high-explosive fragmentation shells, with a particular focus on their penetration capability.

The authors analyze existing models aimed at predicting fragment velocities and identify their limitations. They propose new analytical expressions for calculating initial and terminal velocities of fragments. These formulas are based on the uniform distribution of energy according to fragment masses, which offers a more physically justified approach.

The paper determines the critical value of the loading coefficient necessary to ensure the penetration of a standard steel obstacle (3 mm). It presents consideration of the dependence of the depth of a fragment immersion on the value of the loading coefficient, along with the influence of the shape parameter of the fragments. The research reveals a nonlinear nature of this relation and a significant decrease in the penetration capability for elongated fragments.

These results are key to optimizing the design of fragmentation-forming components of projectiles. The shell improvements can increase their lethality against manpower protected by modern means of armor protection.

LOGISTICS SYSTEM MANAGEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS

2025-09-16T11:41:45+03:00

Attention is focused on the fact that the logistics system in the context of digitalization is turning into a high-tech network capable of self-organization, adaptation and training. It is noted that the integration of intelligent management systems, big data analytics, the Internet of Things, cloud computing and automation makes it possible not only to optimize operations, but also to rethink the very concept of logistics management. As a result, there is a deep evolution of logistics processes from mechanistic execution to strategic management of digital flows.

The peculiarities of managing the logistics system in the context of digital changes caused by digitalization are determined. The study proves that at the same time, digital transformation poses new challenges for enterprises: the complexity of technical integration, the need for changes in organizational culture, the shortage of digital competencies among staff, as well as growing requirements for flexibility and transparency of logistics solutions. This necessitates the formation of new models of logistics system management based on digital principles, flexible methodologies and an analytical approach to decision-making.
