"We have the latest air defense systems. They are medium-range. This, of course, is not an analogue of Patriot, IRIS-T or SAMP-T, but they are Ukrainian-developed, Ukrainian-made," he said.
As Defense Blog informed in 2021, the Kyiv-based state design bureau LUCH unveil the concept of a new mid-range air defense system, called the SD-300.
The SD-300 surface-to-air missile system is designed to intercept various threats such as air-to-ground missiles, helicopters, aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), guided bombs, and tactical ballistic missiles up to 100km.
As noted by the company, in exceptional cases, it can be used to destroy ground (surface) radar-contrasting moving targets.
The missile is armed with a 60 kg warhead with a proximity fuse. It features an active radar terminal homing guidance system and measures 7.13m in length and 750kg in weight. SD-300’s missile has a body diameter of 300mm.
