What it is
UFORCE is a defence-technology company founded in Ukraine and registered in London, with hubs in Kyiv and Washington, DC. It was formed by bringing together nine Ukrainian defence developers, the company said in July 2026. It builds uncrewed systems for sea, land and air, and the command-and-control software that runs them. Its customers are Ukraine’s armed forces first; it is now selling to allied governments.
Products
- Magura: a family of uncrewed surface vessels. UFORCE says Magura boats contributed to the destruction of more than a dozen Russian warships in the Black Sea and have shot down helicopters and fighter aircraft. Ukraine’s forces have also used them as floating bases to launch drones.
- Nemesis: heavy strike drones, reusable bombers and one-way attack versions. UFORCE says they have flown more than 300,000 combat flights with more than 100 Ukrainian units.
- LIUT: ground robotic platforms.
- Predator: turrets for counter-drone defence.
These are the company’s own figures; FlightBrief has not seen independent counts.
Business and financial position
On 12 November 2026 UFORCE announced a $700 million Series A at a $6 billion valuation. Valor Equity Partners and the UK National Wealth Fund, owned by HM Treasury, co-led it; the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund joined, its largest emerging-technology investment to date. Menlo Ventures, Xantium and Hiro Capital came in as new investors; Shield Capital, Ballistic Ventures, Lakestar and Squadra added to their stakes.
UFORCE says the money will spread production across the US, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, and keep it running in Ukraine despite Russian attacks. In July 2026 it agreed with the boatbuilder ReconCraft to build Magura boats in the US through UFORCE USA, its wholly owned American subsidiary. General (Ret.) Christopher Cavoli, a former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe and now a partner at Valor, joined its board with the round.
Oleg Rogynskyy is chief executive.
Why it matters
UFORCE turns Ukrainian wartime drone makers into one international company with Western capital and a British headquarters. The UK and US government funds in its round back production of Ukrainian-designed systems in Britain and in Ukraine. Its published combat numbers come from the company itself, and a $6 billion valuation rests on turning wartime demand into steady orders from allied governments.
