Ukraine is aiming to have a working prototype of a new European-made anti-ballistic missile defense system ready by the first half of 2027 as Kyiv accelerates efforts to reduce its dependence on U.S. Patriot systems.
Reuters first reported that the ambitious initiative, codenamed Freyja, is being developed through a coalition of European governments and defense companies and is designed to create a flexible, lower-cost missile shield capable of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles.
