What are these systems?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Odesa engineering company\u00a0Tekhnary\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/big-news-from-technary-thechaikaandchaika-m-ugcPost-7380549328295149568-2kOq\">announced<\/a> that the training VR simulators Chaika and Chaika-M have been officially approved for use by the Ukrainian Defence Forces and have received NATO codification.\u00a0Defender Media\u00a0spoke with the developers to find out what these systems are and how codification might affect their future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to company co-founder Yevhen Lyashan, the codification process took nine months. It was complicated by the fact that Chaika is a simulator without a full-scale model of a MANPADS or a machine gun. The system is primarily software-based, and software is not codified in Ukraine. Ultimately, both simulators were codified as hardware\u2013software complexes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chaika and Chaika-M had already been used by the Defence Forces before codification, but now the state can officially procure them, explained\u00a0Tekhnary\u00a0CEO Hennadii Suldin. He said that more than 450 simulators have already been delivered to various units. Chaika has been used by air defence units since December 2023, and Chaika-M has been supplied to some brigades since February 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"640\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1138 \/ 640;\" width=\"1138\" controls src=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/chayka.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Promo video by Technary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chaika<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chaika simulator is designed to train nighttime anti-aircraft shooting using the Igla MANPADS and 12.7 mm DShK and M2 machine guns. The system helps personnel of mobile and stationary low-altitude air defence posts of different branches of the military to develop practical skills \u2014 from rapid situational assessment to engagement decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chaika simulates aerial attacks from various altitudes, angles, distances, and speeds, allowing operators to practise targeting cruise missiles and Shaheds with machine guns. It complements live-fire training. The average time needed to master the virtual environment and controls during the first session is no more than 10 minutes, while the optimal duration for individual sessions is 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-left wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/en\/2025\/07\/tekhnari-developed-mungoose-interceptor\/\"><strong>R<\/strong>ead more<strong>:<\/strong> Technary from Odesa develops reusable anti-Shahed interceptor with jet engine and shotgun<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suldin explains that Chaika is intended for air defence operators already trained to fire MANPADS or machine guns, helping them rehearse scenarios such as shooting down a cruise missile or a Shahed drone in the night sky. He adds that codification will not significantly affect orders for Chaika, as \u201calmost everyone who needs it already has it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chaika-M<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A variation of the system, Chaika-M (code-named Flyswatter), is a VR trainer based on the Meta Quest 3 headset designed for the last line of personal defence against FPV drones. It simulates real drone attack scenarios (over 20 types) and allows for repeated training sessions without using live ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chaika-M recreates the physical feel of real weapons through a mock device, enhancing the realism of training. The system is aimed at improving survival in critical situations by developing quick decision-making, peripheral vision, muscle memory, stress resilience, and firing accuracy. According to the developers, consistent and systematic training improves both individual and team safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suldin believes that codification opens much greater opportunities for Chaika-M, arguing that such a trainer should be available in every company. \u201cRegular use in a unit will reduce combat losses from FPV drones, Lancets, and Molnias by 25\u201330% within just a few weeks \u2014 both in personnel and equipment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If needed,\u00a0Tekhnary\u00a0is ready to rapidly scale up production. Lyashan and Suldin estimate that they can manufacture 200\u2013300 simulators per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/en\/2025\/04\/tecknari-to-defend-the-sky\/\">Technary also developed the app &#8220;\u0454\u041f\u041f\u041e&#8221;<\/a>, through which civilians can report enemy aerial activity to the military. The programme has more than 500,000 downloads on Google Play and around 200,000 on the App Store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chaika trains soldiers to shoot down cruise missiles and Shahed drones, while Chaika-M focuses on defending against FPV<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":12867,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","_featured_category_order":0,"_article_badge":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[28,29],"tags":[631,216,229,837],"class_list":["post-12876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ecosystem","category-startups","tag-exercise-machines","tag-industry","tag-startups","tag-technary","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Technary codified VR simulators Chaika and Chaika-M<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Chaika trains soldiers to shoot down cruise missiles and Shahed drones, while Chaika-M focuses on defending against FPV.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Technary codified VR simulators Chaika and Chaika-M\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Chaika trains soldiers to shoot down cruise missiles and Shahed drones, while Chaika-M focuses on defending against FPV.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/en\/2025\/10\/tehnari-chajka-codified\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defender Media\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DefenderMediaUA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-10-07T15:31:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-10-12T19:27:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/stage.thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ch-m-1.webp\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2065\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1459\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/webp\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Olha Pokotylo\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@DefenderMediaUA\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@DefenderMediaUA\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Olha Pokotylo\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/stage.thedefender.media\\\/en\\\/2025\\\/10\\\/tehnari-chajka-codified\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/stage.thedefender.media\\\/en\\\/2025\\\/10\\\/tehnari-chajka-codified\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Olha Pokotylo\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/stage.thedefender.media\\\/en\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/b5e4186ac837da522a37e4f3a46c0783\"},\"headline\":\"The MoD codified VR simulators Chaika and Chaika-M developed by\u00a0Tekhnary.
