Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter has published an educational breakdown detailing how ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones operate in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter has outlined the technological differences between key airborne weapons deployed in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The analysis details how high-speed ballistic missiles follow steep trajectories that leave air defenses little time to respond, whereas maneuverable cruise missiles fly low to evade radar detection. Additionally, uncrewed aerial vehicles are frequently launched in saturation swarms designed to overwhelm radar systems and exhaust interceptor missile supplies. Military analysts emphasize that defending against these simultaneous threats requires multi-layered air defense systems capable of identifying and destroying diverse targets across distinct flight paths.
