Ukraine Seeks European Missile Defence Prototype by Mid-2027

New Defence Goal

A Ukrainian official said the country hopes to develop a prototype of a European missile defence system by the middle of 2027. The initiative is intended to improve protection against missile and drone attacks.

Need for Stronger Air Defence

Ukraine has repeatedly highlighted shortages of advanced air defence systems, including US-made Patriot missiles, while facing continued aerial strikes.

European Cooperation

The proposed project is expected to involve closer cooperation with European partners in developing modern defence technology and reducing reliance on external suppliers.

Focus on Long-Term Security

Officials say the programme is part of Ukraine's broader strategy to strengthen national security and improve defence capabilities for the future.
