The Gravehawk was developed by the UK in a short time frame to meet Ukraine’s battlefield needs. The project is being jointly funded by the UK and Denmark.

The new system, which is the size of a shipping container, is reportedly capable of using air-to-air missiles already in service with Ukraine.

Two prototypes of the new air defence system were tested in Ukraine in September, and 15 more are planned to be delivered this year.
