😵 Ukrainian interceptors for the jet "Shaheds" were "ready" back in winter, but failed combat trials, - "Flash"
As presidential advisor on the development of defense technology directions Serhiy Beskrestnov reported, eight Ukrainian manufacturers claimed their designs were already ready and capable of reaching the required speed. However, in real conditions it turned out that simply flying fast is not enough.
The jet "Shaheds" can change speed roughly from 300 to 500 km/h, change altitude, and maneuver. Therefore an interceptor needs not only speed and fuel reserve, but also high maneuverability, a stable control channel, automatic target acquisition, and terminal guidance using machine vision.
They have not started mass ordering of such interceptors yet — first they need a model that reliably works in combat conditions and that different units can use. After that, "Flash" believes, it will be possible to rapidly scale up production.
