Since the beginning of russia's full-scale invasion, the Ukrainian Armor has delivered over 1,000 Novator armored vehicles to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This way, the Ukrainian defense industry is increasing its capacity to meet military needs.
The manufacturer also notes that the range of these armored vehicles has been expanded with new models. These include the Novator-2, the Novator 2S evacuation vehicle, the Novator command and staff vehicle, the Novator OPM for operational explosive ordnance disposal, a reinforced-protection Novator, and the Novator 2 Krechet.

This results in a multifunctional platform suitable for various roles and future unification. It is known that special variants were created taking into account feedback from the military.
It should be noted that earlier, Ukrainian Armor reported that in 2024, it had increased production of Novators more than threefold compared to 2023. So far, a 1.5-fold increase is planned for 2025, but this may change by the end of the year.
The company also has other equipment, such as the Varta-2 armored personnel carrier and the recently unveiled VOLS buggy. It also manufactures mortar and artillery ammunition, mortars, FPV drones, and even participates in the production of the 2S22 Bohdana self-propelled howitzer.
It is known that the Novator vehicles performed well during the russian-Ukrainian war. They also received various improvements, such as electronic warfare systems and increased armor.
However, it should be noted that the Ukrainian Defense Forces' need for armored vehicles is measured in thousands, so even these high production rates are currently insufficient to meet demand. At the same time, it is divided into various additional categories based on armor and other criteria.
However, such scaling shows that, with the right orders, the Ukrainian defense industry will likely be able to expand its capabilities.
