A training ground alternatively of exhibition halls. The Bieszczady Tactical Dark Expo: A fresh Format for investigating Dual-Use Technologies

The conventional trade show format, based on static exhibition booths and product brochures, is increasingly giving way to rigorous field investigating in a “test-and-buy” format. On October 22–24 of this year, the first edition of the Bieszczady Tactical Dark Expo (BTDE 2026) took place in the Solina area. Organized by the Situational Training Center, the event was an effort to decision distant from the conventional indoor format of defence manufacture trade shows. Under challenging terrain and weather conditions, exhibitors subjected their designs to evaluation by peculiar Forces veterans.
