🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️ — Ukraine has begun testing exo-atmospheric missile interception systems designed to counter Russia's Oreshnik IRBMs and similar weapons, The Guardian reports. Three tests have been conducted so far, including one involving a system launched from a very high-flying aircraft to intercept threats in near-space. Securing sufficient funding remains a major obstacle due to the enormous financial demands of the ongoing war.
