Ukraine races to build its own missile shield as Russian ballistic strikes triple

On day 1597 of the war, Ukraine accelerates the development of its own missile defense system as Russian ballistic missile attacks have tripled. Meanwhile, Russia's war economy is straining its strategic projects.

On the 1597th day of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Ukraine is accelerating efforts to build its own missile defense shield in response to a threefold increase in Russian ballistic missile strikes. This initiative aims to reduce reliance on foreign military aid and enhance the country's defensive capabilities.

Concurrently, Russia's war economy is putting pressure on its strategic projects. The country's largest arms manufacturer is struggling to afford new weapons system development, indicating resource strain from the prolonged conflict. This could impact Russia's ability to sustain high-intensity attacks in the future.
