Fired Ukraine defense chief Fedorov launches defense-tech company with Palantir CEO backing

Mykhailo Fedorov, the ousted head of Ukraine's defense sector, has expanded his work into defense technology by launching a company that receives backing from the CEO of Palantir. According to available information, Fedorov is raising funds in the United States and proposing new concepts designed to turn the battlefield experience of Ukraine's military into actual weapon systems and military equipment.

After leaving his government post, Fedorov has focused on the interface between real combat experience and innovative engineering. His new venture aims to use lessons learned in the war as a foundation for developing weapons and military technologies. Fedorov is said to be actively pitching these ideas to investors and partners in the US, signaling an effort to secure international support for Ukrainian military innovation.

The exact products and systems the company plans to develop have not been revealed. What is known is that Fedorov is pursuing a strategy centered on converting Ukraine's wartime experience into tangible military solutions. The backing of Palantir's CEO gives the initiative a prominent supporter from the technology world. Fedorov's move shows how a former government official can continue shaping defense policy and technology from the private sector, with a clear focus on turning frontline lessons into practical tools for the military.
