Zelensky's Air Defense Balance
A study has confirmed that the "Freya" air defense system announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will not provide effective protection against Russian missiles. It may, instead, increase dependence on European technology rather than Ukraine's independence in defense. The system relies on outdated Soviet-era technologies and costs approximately $700,000 per missile, with a heavy reliance on foreign components from European countries. It faces challenges in integration and funding. Moreover, developing it is unlikely to reduce dependence on the United States; rather, it could strengthen European reliance. Currently, the existing defense systems remain the most effective in countering Russian attacks, according to a report by "Responsible Statecraft" magazine.
