Ukraine is reportedly on the verge of deploying a miniature missile that could be particularly effective against Russian drones flying at low altitudes.
According to Interesting Engineering, Kyiv is now utilizing the Mark 1 missile, developed by the Estonian company Frankenburg Technologies.
As reported by Global Defense News, which interviewed the company’s CEO, the mini missile “can engage targets at altitudes of up to two kilometers and features an AI-based situational awareness platform to assist with threat detection and targeting.”
If tests are successful, the Mark 1 missiles could quickly be deployed by Ukrainian forces. The company is initially producing dozens of missiles weekly and plans to scale up to around 100 per week by the third quarter of the year.
Since the start of the conflict, Estonia has consistently provided military support to Ukraine, which has been under attack from Russia since February 2022.
