Ukraine has approved a program to develop new air defense system, including a new medium-range missile.
This new Ukrainian air defense system will strengthen the capacity of Ukrainian armed forces to protect its airspace, Army Recognition reported Last week.
Under the name of “Dnipro”, this new air defense system will be able to detect aircraft up to a range of 150 km.
This new surface-to-air missile will have the capacity to destroy aircraft but also all types of helicopters, drones and cruise missiles at medium and short distances.
The new air defense system DNIPRO has all-weather capability during day and night. The system provides a detection range of more than 150 km and coverage to an altitude up to 7,000m. It can destroy aerial targets from a distance of 15 m to 25 km. The system can be deployed and prepared for firing in less than four minutes.
