Rüstung: „Trefferquote erhöhen“ – wie die Ukraine ihre Luftverteidigung verbessern will

In Kielce, the "Meeting Room" is located behind a grey door on a trade fair stand. Wladislaw Belbas, CEO of Ukrainian Armor, a Ukrainian arms manufacturer, introduces several prototypes to Handelsblatt. Due to security reasons, specific details of these products cannot be disclosed. However, they could significantly enhance the country's defensive capabilities.

Ukrainian Armor is collaborating with European manufacturer MBDA to develop new weapons for air defense and deep strikes against strategic targets in Russia's hinterland. These models were first presented to select individuals at the MSPO defense trade show in Poland. If all goes according to plan, they will be operational by the end of the year.

According to Belbas, the main issue in Ukraine is that the hit rate of their deep-strike weapons is too low. "If you launch a hundred drones and only five reach the target, it's a significant waste. Ukraine needs to improve its hit rate."
