Ukraine's Luch presents surface-to-air missile based on Stuhna anti-tank missile

Ukraine's Luch design bureau has presented the RK-2PZ surface-to-air missile, developed from the Stuhna anti-tank missile and designed for use with the Desna or modernized Strela-10 systems. This missile, featuring laser beam guidance and a proximity sensor, is reportedly used on the battlefield and is suitable for engaging slower aerial targets like drones, though its subsonic speed makes it less effective against cruise missiles.

Even the whole GDP won't cover spending: Ukraine has received US$200bn from its partners, but that isn't enough

Ukraine has received nearly US$200 billion from international partners since February 2022, equivalent to its 2021 GDP, to fund government and military spending. Despite this substantial aid, which is projected to exceed pre-war GDP by 2026, the country faces significant funding gaps for its defence needs, potentially requiring the acceleration of next year's financial allocations.
