Oekraïne test 'behoorlijk succesvol' afweerraket die Patriot moet vervangen
Oekraïne heeft een nieuwe luchtafweerraket getest. Het projectiel is onderdeel van een Europees samenwerkingsproject om militair minder afhankelijk te worden van de VS. De testvlucht is "behoorlijk succesvol" verlopen, stelt de fabrikant tegen de Britse krant Financial Times . Het gaat om de FP-7.x, die uiteindelijk Russische ballistische raketten moet neerhalen. Het Russische leger zaait met die raketten dood en verderf in Oekraïense steden. Na ruim vier jaar oorlog is Oekra
Ukraine has successfully conducted a test flight of a new air defense missile, designated FP-7.x, as part of a European initiative to reduce reliance on U.S. military aid. This missile is intended to eventually intercept Russian ballistic missiles that have caused significant damage in Ukrainian cities. While the test is described as "fairly successful" by the manufacturer, the system is still far from operational, with mass production potentially starting in August and initial deployment by early next year.
The development of the Freyja system, which includes the FP-7.x missile, is a collaborative effort with European partners, including Germany, France, Italy, and Norway. The speed of its completion and operational readiness is dependent on the contributions and actions of these allies, particularly for the infrared guidance systems.
This development is significant as it represents Ukraine's effort to bolster its air defenses with a European-made system, potentially easing the strain on U.S. Patriot systems and addressing a global shortage of interceptor missiles.
