"Ukraine's Air Defense Crisis: Shortage of Anti-Aircraft Missiles and SKYNEX Solution"
TL;DR Summary
Germany has delivered an Oerlikon Skynex anti-aircraft system to Ukraine as part of a military aid package, boosting Ukraine's air defense capabilities amid Russia's increased aerial attacks. The Skynex system, equipped to defend against drones, missiles, mortars, and rockets, includes a 3D target-acquisition radar and four 35mm Mk3 revolver guns. Compared to the Patriot systems, Skynex is more affordable, effective against small fast-moving objects like drones, and easy to transport, providing Ukraine with a valuable defense asset.
