Ukraine said it had learned to shoot Orshnik missiles off course.
THE UKRAINIAN ARMY SAID HE WAS ABLE TO OVERTHROW THE RUSSIAN ORSHNIK MISSILES FROM THEIR ORBIT THROUGH THE ELECTRONIC WARFARE SYSTEM FOR LIMA QUANT. THE NEW YORK TIMES WRITES ABOUT THIS IN REFERENCE TO THE SYSTEM DEVELOPERS AND MILITARY PERSONNEL OF THE NIGHT GUARD UNIT. ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDER OF THE UNIT WITH THE ALCHEMIST READING SIGN, ON MAY 24, RUSSIA FIRED TWO OSHKNIK MISSILES INTO THE KIEV REGION. THE UKRAINIAN ARMY RECEIVED AN EARLY WARNING ABOUT THE ONGOING ATTACK AND CAME FROM THE US INTELLIGENCE AND USED A QUAINT LIMA. AS A RESULT, THE FIRST MISSILE HIT THE GARAGE A FEW MILES FROM MILITARY FACILITIES, AND THE OTHER CRASHED INTO THE AIR, AL-HIMIST CLAIMS.
According to the Ukrainian development company Cascade Systems, in the first three months of 2026, it was used to divert more than 30 cruise missiles and 10 thousand UAVs from targets. According to Alchemy, out of 62 Russian Kinzhal missiles, 33 disintegrated in mid-air due to Lima Quant. NYT writes that it was unable to verify these data.
The May 24 Orshnik missile strike at the garages in Bila Sarkva raised questions about its accuracy. The Ukrainian publication "Defense Express" admitted that he was flying towards Kiev, but missed by 80 km. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on June 4 that the garages were attacked on purpose and the military was inspecting the missile.
