ballistic missiles

Ballistic missiles have played a significant role in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with several recent reports of attacks causing devastation in cities like Odesa and Kryvyi Rih. These missiles, often armed with cluster warheads, have targeted critical infrastructure and claimed civilian lives, underscoring the importance of robust air defense systems. Additionally, Russia's plans to boost production of Kinzhal and Iskander missiles exacerbate tensions. With the involvement of foreign nations such as North Korea, which continues to supply missiles to Russia, the global community faces a complex security dilemma. Amidst these challenges, Ukraine's defense industry is working on domestic missile production, while international bodies like NATO call for enhanced missile defenses to counter threats like the Russian "Oreshnik". The geopolitical landscape is shaped by these developments, highlighting the strategic significance of missile technology on a global scale.
