Details
"We heard a report on the Danish radar. This is the first component from the partners that is ready. And overall, our missile is ready. That is the main thing. The launcher and the missile are what Ukraine produces. The rest of the elements depend on our partners," the President said at a media briefing the day before.
Background
Freyja is a project under which Ukraine, together with partners, including European ones, is developing a missile defense system. It is intended to become a cheaper alternative to the American Patriot system, which Ukraine uses to intercept Russian ballistic missiles.
A dozen countries are participating in the project. Ukraine is responsible for developing interceptor missiles and launchers, while its partners are responsible for other components, including radars and guidance systems.
