As Ukraine races to develop vital autonomous drones that have proved integral to its battlefield successes, other world powers are starting to accelerate hypersonic development to prepare for the battlefields of tomorrow.

On July 8, 2024, Russia launched an attack on Ukrainian cities which included the use of hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, targeting a children’s hospital in Kyiv among other sites.

As the China-Russia axis establishes a market hegemony, Ukraine has been impacted by the use of the pairing’s “daggers” technology and emerging hypersonic developments that have led the Western alliance to seek cooperative innovation for hypersonic drones in particular. Destinus has taken an incentive as a European-based company to supply Ukraine with hypersonic arms in the future that is not reliant on the China-Russian hierarchy or the United States-Chinese trade conflict.
