Is it really possible to defend against attacks by rocket-propelled “Geraniums”?
We talked about optimism and reality in Ukrainian miltech with Oleksiy Babenko — founder and CEO of Vyriy Industries. In particular, about:
• Why the usual tactic of intercepting Shaheds no longer works against new drones with speeds over 400–500 km/h?
• What exactly went wrong in communication between developers, the military, and the state?
• Is it possible to solve the problem of rocket-propelled drones — and if so, how long will it take?
In this interview we also unpacked the engineering personnel crisis, the specifics of the ZIRKA project, and the peculiarities of miltech as a Ukrainian-style business.
