Swedish analysis details long-range weaponry in Russia-Ukraine conflict

Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter published a technical overview examining the different long-range weapons utilized in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The analysis contrasts high-speed ballistic missiles, which follow high-altitude parabolic arcs, with low-altitude cruise missiles engineered to evade detection by radar. Additionally, the report outlines how uncrewed aerial vehicles are increasingly deployed to overwhelm air defenses and drain expensive interceptor inventories. Defense analysts noted that effective interception of these aerial threats requires comprehensive, multi-layered air defense networks equipped to handle varying speeds, altitudes, and radar signatures.
