Ukraine is testing systems capable of intercepting missiles in space: the goal is to counter the Russian “Oreshnik,” writes The Guardian
Ukraine has already conducted three tests of exoatmospheric interception systems — technologies intended to destroy ballistic missiles outside the Earth’s atmosphere.
The development is aimed primarily at the Russian “Oreshnik.” During flight this missile reaches near space, where it releases several warheads, each of which can home in on a separate target. Such multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle technology was originally used in nuclear missiles.
In the future Ukraine plans to put such systems into serial production. However, there is a serious problem — funding. Because of the enormous needs at the front, allocating funds for developing new missile defense systems is difficult.
