Weapons against Russian attacks: Germany hands over modern Skynex air defense systems to Ukraine
Germany provides Ukraine with modern Skynex air defense systems to strengthen its defense. These anti-aircraft systems are an important element of defense against drones, cruise missiles and other airborne threats.
Experts note the high accuracy and efficiency of Skynex due to advanced technologies. Rheinmetall’s SAMs are controlled by the Oerlikon Skymaster system, providing flexibility and scalability through the integration of sensors and other components.
The main feature of Skynex is its open modular architecture, which allows for quick change of weapons for certain types of missions.
The SAM has a diverse arsenal, ranging from the Oerlikon Revolver Gun Mk3 and electronic warfare equipment to HALCON SkyKnight C-RAM/C-PGM missiles, multi-sensor units for better tracking of airborne threats and Oerlikon X-TAR3D 3D radar.
The transfer of Skynex air defense systems to Kyiv is an important step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, experts agree.
