A German defence executive warns Europe is missing crucial lessons from Ukraine\u2019s combat-tested air-defence systems. He plans joint drone interceptor projects with Ukrainian partners.<\/p>\n
Today Ukraine is establishing itself as a leading force in an integrated air defense system, and Europe can leverage its experience to strengthen its own security. This view was expressed during an interview with Matthias Lena, the vice president of the German company Quantum Systems.<\/p>\n
According to Lena, today there is no other country in Europe that, like Ukraine, endures daily large-scale drone and missile attacks.<\/p>\n

Lena emphasized that it is precisely combat experience that has made Ukraine a leader in the development of multi-layered air defense.<\/p>\n
Ukraine is a leader in the field of integrated air defense, with different levels of protection and different types of solutions. Europe must surely leverage this experience.<\/p>\n

Lena noted the intention to expand cooperation with Ukrainian partners in the interceptor-drone sector and to create joint ventures that will develop various drone solutions on land, in the air, and in the interceptor segment.<\/p>\n

According to him, Ukrainian technologies should become an integral part of Europe\u2019s future security system, and the integration of Ukraine\u2019s defense and technology sectors is a key condition for implementing joint initiatives.<\/p>\n
In my view, it would be extremely imprudent not to integrate Ukraine\u2019s defense and technology sectors into this system. The interest is very high, and, given our assessment of the situation, it will be impossible without Ukrainians<\/p>\n
\u2013 Matthias Lena<\/p>\n
It is also noted that Germany and Ukraine have signed an agreement for the joint development of a new air defense system to intercept ballistic missiles, underscoring the partnership in defense technology.<\/p>\n
This development reflects Ukraine\u2019s growing role in modernizing Europe\u2019s airspace and the potential for future joint projects that could strengthen the continent\u2019s security in the long term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A German defence executive warns Europe is missing crucial lessons from Ukraine\u2019s combat-tested air-defence systems.
