War in Ukraine

Missiles, drones, artillery—the Ukrainian defense industry has reinvented itself since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Today, the challenge is to find sufficient funds for orders—to keep it going.

With $60.8 billion in fresh US aid, Ukraine hopes to withstand a looming Russian offensive. The package prioritizes long-range missiles and air defense systems, which are crucial to counter Russia’s overwhelming firepower.

Ukraine is all too familiar now with nuclear disasters. Over the last two years, Russia has been in control of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant—Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia NPP. The question now is, could there be another Chornobyl on our hands?

From trench warfare to the use of modern technology, the war in Ukraine is one of contrasts. We look at the world's most mine-contaminated landscape and how robots and AI are being introduced to combat the crisis.

Consistent reports of GPS interference have plagued Finland, Poland, the Baltic states, and the Baltic Sea. This poses a significant threat to civilian aviation and regional military security. Suspicions point to Russia's Kaliningrad exclave as the source of these disruptions.

Iskander, Kalibr, Zircon: Russia employs a dozen different types of missiles to bombard Ukrainian territory, ranging from modern weaponry to remnants from Soviet times. Ukraine needs support in shooting them down.
