On January 3, as part of a long-term plan to adopt NATO military standards, Ukraine took a step toward ditching this Soviet military carryover.
Ukroboronprom, Ukraine's nationalized defense industry conglomerate, announced a partnership agreement between the Ukrainian defense manufacturer Ukroboronservis and the U.S. company Aeroscraft to produce in Ukraine a variant of the U.S. M16 assault rifle.
"The M16 project was conceived some time ago, as the Ukrainian armed forces, border guards and National Guard will with time switch to NATO standards," Aeroscraft founder and CEO Igor Pasternak said during a January 3 press conference in the Ukranian capital of Kiev.

This cooperation is aimed at introduction of modern armament and military equipment samples into production. Former head of the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Anthony Tether became UKROBORONPROM adviser on long-term development. The parties signed the relevant memorandum on August 26.
UKROBORONPROM reached the top-priority goal on overhaul and reconstitution of the combat equipment. Now we will enter the next level of technology exchange, producing modern armament and military equipment. As a result – access to new markets and deeper integration into the existing ones”, – said Director General of the SC “Ukroboronprom” Roman Romanov.
Anthony Tether mentioned that the Iron Curtain, separating Ukraine from the world, fell 25 years ago, though its fragments kept hindering international cooperation in defence industry until the present day.
“This Memorandum removes all the obstacles, opening the doors to mutually beneficial cooperation and comprehensive development. I am glad to cooperate with UKROBORONPROM. Today we start writing a new page in the history of the rapid development of the defence complex of Ukraine,” – he added.
The founder of “Aeroscraft” Igor Pasternak shared his own experience of cooperation with the SC “Ukroboronprom.” A year ago – together with American company – the State Concern started working towards enhancing security of the borders, and in the nearest future technology transfer will take place.
“UKROBORONPROM’s potential exceeds the capacities used today. With the support of the US, the State Concern will show that it can produce the most advanced technology for both domestic and export markets,” mentioned Igor Pasternak.
UKROBORONPROM is developing within the frameworks of the strategy “Ukrainian shield,” focused on high-tech production, transition to international standards (NATO) and supplying the army with modern types of armaments. The State Concern extends cooperation with NATO and EU member countries, as defined by the strategic course of the state.

Guatemalan officials raided a compound on Friday belonging to Lev Tahor, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect with past links to child exploitation. Prosecutors said they had removed at least 160 children and teenagers from the site who they believed were the victims of human trafficking and other offenses.
A regional prosecutor, Dimas Jiménez y Jiménez, told reporters in a news conference that the authorities were considering charges including human trafficking, forced pregnancy, mistreatment of minors and rape.
“We suspect these crimes were committed by a member of the community,” Mr. Jiménez y Jiménez said.
