A revolutionary weapon must be quickly supplied to Kiev to counter the deadly attacks of Russian drones made in Iran, belonging to the class Shaded. A new weapon not supplied to Western countries. Germany has secretly moved towards the construction, in record time, of a hit-tech apparatus with Swiss cannons and German high-tech thanks to a company based in Italy on the outskirts of Rome – Rheinmetall Italy. The operation had been approved by the then Draghi government.
The batteries Skynex they possess rapid-fire cannons Oerlikn from 35 millimeters, fully automated, with a range of up to four thousand meters. The mobile radar station can detect airplanes, helicopters, missiles and remote-controlled aircraft up to forty kilometers away and fire at multiple targets simultaneously. A portable version of the more expensive Italian-French Samp-T missile and air defense system.
The German company holding the patent and responsible for the construction is the Rheinmetall Italy which released a video spot where the futuristic battery faces a swarm of eight drones, passing from one target to another. In a couple of seconds he takes them all down by firing simple and inexpensive projectiles.
The program was born in summer 2022 when Rheinmetall Italy proposed the system Skynex with Swiss cannons Oerlikon whose licenses are registered in our country. A guarantee for the Swiss to be able to transfer the weapon system to Ukraine because it is prohibited by Swiss legislation which does not allow any transfer of weapons from domestic territory to warring nations.
Berlin has allocated 182 million for weapons and radars, plus another 12 million for vehicles. But it is not excluded, writes Repubblica, that there are other orders with European Union funds or paid directly from Kiev. The Prime Minister of Ukraine recently spoke about it Denys Shmyahl, visiting the Roman factory last April 26: “We need weapons that are so effective, they will save hundreds of lives and important infrastructure for millions of people». The super batteries will be delivered to the Ukrainian military by the end of the year.
