Ukrainian volunteers develop cheap missiles to “knock out” Russian air defenses.
This is what AFP reports.
Ukrainian inventors have developed a low-cost cruise missile they hope will “break” Russian air defenses so warhead missiles are more likely to reach their targets. Inventors are volunteers, but not amateurs. They have already produced hundreds of mortars.
“Trembita”, a traditional Ukrainian mountain horn, is also the name of a cruise missile developed by volunteers in Ukraine who claim that it it will be hundreds of times cheaper than Western counterparts.
“Missiles with warheads will have more expensive electronics to be able to hit targets accurately,” explains Serhiy, a volunteer from the Pars Design Bureau.
“But the thousands of decoys will be very cheap: we want to break the air defenses of the Russians, so that our attack missiles hit their targetshe says.
A group of volunteers from other parts of Ukraine watch a demonstration of the rocket. They are interested in helping out the making of “Trembita” in several places.

“I am very happy that this kind of production is developing in Ukraine,” says Yulia, a volunteer from the Kyiv region.
“And I like how all these weapons are designed to allow soldiers to operate further away from the front line.”
