War in Ukraine

Ukraine’s skies face relentless Russian attacks by drones and missiles, making every layer of air defense critical. Now, partner countries have reinforced that shield with additional Crotale systems—French air defense systems capable of neutralizing some of Russia’s aerial threats.

Europe’s missile production is running into a critical bottleneck: solid rocket propellant. Ukraine’s Fire Point is taking production to Denmark, where safety requirements have forced it to build an entirely new factory, complete with 90-centimeter reinforced-concrete walls.

Ukraine has exposed dozens of companies sustaining production of Russia’s Su-35S fighter jets, revealing that nearly a third of the identified suppliers remain untouched by international sanctions.
