In order to successfully face Russia Ukraine he needs to invest in missile technology, says Valentin Badrak, director of the Army's Center for Research, Transformation and Disarmament. He shared his thoughts with the internet television channel Hromadske.tv.
Badrak noted that if the Ukrainian navy had ten Neptune missile systems, Russian ships would “not go as boldly as they do today.” The expert called the missile systems themselves “weapons of the future”.
According to the Army Research Center, the first division of missile systems can be acquired by naval services as early as 2022. “If we concentrated, the sea would be protected in three years,” Badrak believes.
According to the expert, missile technology is more promising because this weapon is cheaper. Robotic missile systems are more profitable than, for example, armored personnel carriers.
The channel also states that a new development of Ukrainian military companies was presented at the Lviv Forum. In addition to the missile systems, it was possible to see Falcon drones and the unmanned Scorpion and Thunder systems.
