Fire Point’s FP-7.x interceptor now combines infrared and radar guidance as Ukraine and European partners develop a new ballistic missile defense system.

EIC staff updated the board that the Quinlan Creek interceptor is in preliminary/30%-design work, will require several right-of-way acquisitions through residential areas, and that regional reviewers will consider funding in October before any Washington-level review.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia fired ballistic missiles and dozens of jet-powered drones at Kyiv, Ukraine’s air force said Tuesday, as Moscow seeks to make Ukraine buckle under the pressure of day-and-night bombardment of its capital and other cities. The Russian onslaught has used new jet-powered drones that fly too fast and too high for Ukrainian ground-based air defenses to shoot down. Ukraine is scrambling to keep pace by developing faster interceptor drones, in the latest example of how the war has driven military innovation, but making and deploying new weapons takes months. Russia’s ballistic missiles have also got through as Ukraine is desperately short of U.S.-made Patriot air defense interceptor missiles, which are the only reliable way of stopping Moscow’s ballistic attacks. Patriot stockpiles are low, largely because of the Iran war, and Ukraine has received only small numbers of them this year despite President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s pleading. Ukraine said that its air defenses shot down two ballistic missiles overnight, which suggested that Kyiv had recently received some more Patriots. Air defense needs are mounting with the approach of the bitter winter months, which in the years since Russia’s full-scale invasion began on Feb. 24, 2022 have brought an...

Russia fired ballistic missiles and dozens of jet-powered drones at Kyiv overnight, Ukraine's air force said on Tuesday, as Moscow stepped up pressure on the Ukrainian capital and other cities with sustained attacks. The latest barrage came as Ukraine tries to keep pace with new threats in the war. The country is developing faster interceptor drones to counter Russia's new jet-powered drones, which fly too fast and too high for Ukrainian ground-based air defences to bring down, while also facing a shortage of US-made Patriot interceptor missiles used against ballistic attacks. Ukraine said its air defences shot down two ballistic missiles overnight, suggesting that Kyiv had recently received some more Patriots. Patriot stockpiles are low, largely because of the Iran war, and Ukraine has received only small numbers this year despite President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's appeals. Air defence needs are rising ahead of winter, a period that has seen intensified Russian strikes on Ukraine's power grid since the full-scale invasion began on February 24, 2022, disrupting heating and running water for civilians. The Russian Defence Ministry said its forces hit data processing centres in Kyiv that Moscow says are used by the Ukrainian military, which is increasingly using artificial intelligence on...
