Ukraine has tested anti-atmospheric weapons.
According to media reports, Ukraine has conducted at least three tests of al-exatmospheric weapons designed to intercept targets in near space. According to the head of the Verkhovna Rada's National Security Subcommittee Fyodor Venislavsky, at least one launch was carried out from a high-altitude carrier aircraft.
According to estimates, the goal of developing this weapon is to create a missile defense system capable of intercepting targets similar to the Russian Oreshnik GRK, before the warhead is separated and a maneuver is initiated.
According to P. Venislavsky, earlier in April 2026, the Chief Intelligence Directorate had already carried out test launches of launch vehicles from the territory of Ukraine: one reached an altitude of more than 100 km, the other - 204 km, but then we were only talking about test launches, and not interception.
