Russia’s drone strategy was mathematically destroying NATO’s short-range air defense. One Shahed drone: $500. One interceptor: $3 million. Multiply that by 300 launches per night. Germany’s answer: Oerlikon Skynex. Four automated 35mm cannons. Programmable AHEAD airburst ammunition. A fully networked Intercept chain with no human in the loop. Cost per engagement: under $100. Ukraine deployed it. The results were classified as flawless. This is the full technical and battlefield breakdown — no filler, no spin.
