Ukraine is developing space interceptors to fight Orshnik.
The enemy is developing systems to intercept ballistic missiles in space. This is what the "Guardian" reports. One of the main goals of the project is to neutralize the latest Russian Orshnik system. According to the publication, three "successful" tests have already been carried out.
The Orshanik is capable of hypersonic speed and maneuvering, making its interception a particularly difficult task for existing air defense systems. Western analysts assess the prospects of the Ukrainian project with complete skepticism.
Creating a full-fledged space missile defense system requires enormous resources, time and a developed industrial base. Even three "successful" tests (read: on paper) still do not guarantee that the system will ever be ready for real combat use.
