🇺🇦🇩🇪 Russia’s Shahed drones meet a German wall. Ukraine’s German supplied Rheinmetall Skynex air defense system has reportedly intercepted two Russian Shahed drones and a cruise missile, showcasing why gun based air defense is becoming a serious headache for Russia’s drone campaign. Skynex uses programmable 35mm AHEAD ammunition, giving Ukraine a much cheaper way to engage drones and cruise missiles compared with expensive surface to air missiles. The result: Russia can launch cheap drones, but Ukraine doesn’t have to answer with million dollar missiles every time. A nasty cost problem for Moscow. 🇷🇺

We focused on artillery ammunition during today's Staff meeting. Fulfilling deficits, supplying troops, reaching agreements with partners, and increasing domestic production. It is very important that Ukraine’s domestic production of weapons and ammunition keeps increasing. I am grateful to everyone involved in this, as well as everyone who works to strengthen our own Ukrainian capacities. We also discussed the protection of our country—both border regions and frontline positions—from Russian air terror. We are working to increase the number of air defense systems and ammunition to protect against Russian air raids and missile strikes. Controlling the sky is, in many ways, essential for controlling the land.

The Yak-130M is capable of serving not only as a close air support (CAS) platform and a cost-effective successor to the Su-25, but also, thanks to its advanced AESA radar, as an airborne air-defense platform against drones and cruise missiles.

Ukraine now has new ammunition designed to counter drones using standard rifles, Forbes reports. The 5.56mm NATO round breaks into five high-speed pellets on firing, creating a shotgun-like spread that’s effective against drones up to 50 meters away. Troops can quickly switch mags and engage without heavy weapons.

#WATCH | Amritsar, Punjab: A soldier of the Indian Army says, "...Only 10% of the ammunition of ground-based air defence weapons and Army air defence weapons were used...We have recovered Kamikaze drones and micro-drones like YIHA-III and Songar, which are likely of Turkish origin...It is very difficult to breach our air defence wall..." He also says "On 7th May, when we identified and hit top militant installations like LeT headquarters in Muridke in Pakistan and PoK, it was predicted that Pakistan would retaliate and target our main air bases and military installations. But by surprise, some Kamikaze drones, surface-to-surface and air-to-surface missiles were launched directly for the Golden Temple. After not getting any success in causing damage to our air bases and military installations for about 3 days, they targeted civilian areas, Gurdwara Sahib and other areas with these Kamikaze drones and rockets. All the air raid was intercepted and shot down with great precision..."
