On August 24, a military parade featuring unmanned systems took place in Kyiv to mark Ukraine's Independence Day. For the first time in history, ground-based robotic systems, unmanned surface vessels, and UAVs were showcased en masse, operating both in formation and autonomously. A previously unseen version of the Magura maritime drone was also on display.

 

Ukraine first showed the Koral SAM launcher​

The missile has a mass of 450 kg, of which 36 kg is the warhead. Its guidance system combines an inertial navigation system, radio correction and an active radar homing head.

The diameter of the rocket is 230/300 mm, the length is 4.8 m. The wingspan is 835 mm, and the rudder span is 685 mm.

Ukrainian soldiers have demonstrated the construction of makeshift underground anti-drone tunnels. Russian units had previously constructed similar anti-drone tunnels. The system of underground tunnels is reminiscent of the underground cities from the Vietnam War era.

 
The inevitable has happened - Moscow is now being targeted by ballistic missiles. Only the FP-7 (150kg warhead) so far but the FP-9 (800kg warhead) is coming shortly.

The FP-7 was stated as only having a 200-300km range but I always suspected this to be a lie based on French Hades comparison. This is a real problem for Russia, this missile only costs ~$500k.


 

Interceptor work being done by FP has been discussed in the video. The data seems to suggest that it is to undergo deployment next year.

As has been mentioned in various threads, component data suggests that the initiative involves quite a few EU defense majors as key partners.
