Ukraine will be able to intercept "Orshnik" and other targets in space: - Successful tests of exo-atmospheric interception systems were conducted.
Ukrainian MP Fedir Vanyslavsky, who heads a parliamentary subcommittee dealing with national security, told the newspaper:
"We have already demonstrated launches of exoatmospheric systems and we are working to see if we can achieve this in production. ".
According to him, Ukraine conducted three tests, including launches involving high-altitude aircraft.
Although even the Sanselinist paper does not mention a successful exoatmospheric interception that would probably be necessary to make this claim.
The reported tests included an experimental exo-atmospheric interception capability, but the report did not identify a missile designation, manufacturer, propulsion system or kill vehicle.
Without these details, it is impossible to determine whether Ukraine tested a real anti-ballistic missile interceptor or just an experimental high-altitude rocket.
In the past, the Ukrainian manufacturer Point of Fire discussed the development of an anti-ballistic missile interceptor.
