Ukraine has reportedly begun testing exo-atmospheric air defence systems intended to counter Russian Oreshnik IRBMs and other similar missiles. Three exo-atmospheric kill system test launches have reportedly been carried out so far, including one that is “piggybacked” off a “very high-flying” aircraft. Ukrainian people’s deputy Fedir Venislavskyi stated that this is a priority now, and that work is underway to see if this can be brought into production. Although, he admitted that funding would be a major issue, given the huge demands of the war.
