Ukraine is creating asymmetric solutions to counter Russian ballistic missiles
Ukraine calls on international partners to join forces to create a unified air defence system and jointly develop the defence industrial complex. The main focus is on technological superiority on the front line and increasing aviation capabilities. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian side proposes that foreign partners transform the experience gained in combat into specific technological and industrial solutions. Ensuring the protection of airspace remains the state’s top priority amid constant air attacks.
Protection against missiles and drones
Currently, anti-aircraft missile systems and fighter aviation are the primary tools for neutralizing jet-powered unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles. At the same time, the Defence Forces are actively introducing and increasing the production of more accessible countermeasures.
This involves the regular use of anti-aircraft artillery modules, specialized interceptor drones, and electronic warfare systems. Simultaneously, the process of strengthening the capabilities of Ukrainian aviation is ongoing, covering the expansion of the aircraft fleet, the supply of weaponry, technical maintenance, and the training of pilots.
Technologies and joint production
“Currently, the most effective means of countering jet drones and cruise missiles are combat aviation and SAMs. In parallel, we are developing and scaling up cheaper solutions,” noted Minister of Defence of Ukraine Yevhenii Khmara.
A separate important direction is defined as ensuring technological superiority directly on the front line through the supply of frontline drones. Ukraine also counts on deepening industrial cooperation and attracting mutual investments for the development of defence industrial complex enterprises.
“Ukraine has a unique experience of modern warfare. We want to turn this experience into joint capabilities — through technologies, industrial cooperation, and mutual investments,” emphasized Yevhenii Khmara.
