Estonian defense firm Frankenburg Technologies said on Friday it will start testing its newly developed anti-aircraft missiles in Ukraine next year.
Kusti Salm, CEO of Frankenburg Technologies, revealed his company reached an agreement to get the trials project off the ground. Initially, the company plans to produce a few dozen missiles per week, ramping up production to several hundred missiles weekly by the third quarter of 2025.
The Baltic company is developing cost-effective missiles designed specifically to neutralize drones. Its Mark 1 surface-to-air missile is touted as particularly effective against Iranian-made Shahed kamikaze drones, which have been a menace for Ukrainian cities.
In November, Ukraine’s defense ministry confirmed its plans to receive the weapons from Frankenburg Technologies for testing, marking a key step in enhancing the country’s air defense capabilities.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
