Ukraine starts building domestic anti-ballistic system: Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that Ukraine has started developing a domestically produced anti-ballistic system, designed to be an analogue of the U.S. Patriot in terms of intercepting ballistic targets, reported Xinhua. We have started building our own European project called Freya. I very much count on the success of this project, Zelensky said on X. He said that Freya would be easier to mass-produce and less expensive than the Patriot system. Ukraine will soon present the Freya project to partner countries that could help accelerate its development, Zelensky added.

Does Ukraine Own Domestically Produced Long-Range Missile?
Ukraine may have used a domestically produced long-range missile in combat against Russia for the first time, Bloomberg reports. Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that Russian armed forces had intercepted a long-range operational-tactical missile. The ministry did not disclose additional details regarding the weapon involved. Analysts cited by Bloomberg suggested that Ukraine may have used one of its own missile systems in combat operations for the first time. At the same time, Denis Shtilerman, chief designer and co-owner of the Ukrainian company Fire Point, publicly rejected suggestions that the missile involved was the company's FP-9 system.
