Quote: "The enemy is learning quite quickly. Let me just provide an example: the Kh-101 cruise missiles are entirely different from those used in 2022. This missile is equipped with an active radio-electronic warfare system, active heat trap protection. etc."

Details: Skibitskyi added that Ukraine needs to develop air defence and the defence-industrial complex since the Russians will not stop.

Quote: "We must develop everything: air defence, protection of the defence-industrial complex and manufacturing, and we must carry out counteroffensive actions not to lose our territories. And the experience of 2023 has shown it to us."
