Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the successful testing of Ukraine's first ballistic missile, marking a significant advancement in the country's defense capabilities against ongoing Russian aggression.
The Ukrainian defense industry has seen substantial growth since the onset of the Russian invasion in February 2022, with plans to produce one million drones in 2024 to bolster military operations.
Zelensky's government is actively pursuing the supply of long-range cruise missiles from the US, which would enhance the effectiveness of the newly received F-16 fighter jets.
