Ukraine to Deploy New Air Defense Against Russian Guided Bombs
Russia’s use of modified FAB-500 guided bombs in attacks, such as the June 7th Kharkiv strike killing two and injuring nineteen, has spurred a NATO Innovation Challenge. Three startups are developing countermeasures, including trajectory prediction systems and anti-drone solutions, to defend against these and other threats like Shahed drones. These countermeasures are planned for deployment by year’s end. The ongoing conflict highlights the need for effective defenses against precision-guided munitions.
