Rheinmetall’s €4,000 Skynex just did the impossible.For the first time in modern warfare, a 35mm cannon has repeatedly destroyed Russia’s most advanced long-range cruise missiles — Kh-101 and Kalibr — missiles worth over $1 million each and designed to evade NATO-grade air defenses.While the world expected only Patriot, NASAMS, and IRIS-T to intercept cruise missiles, Ukraine quietly proved that Skynex can shred them using programmable AHEAD airburst rounds… at a cost 1,000× cheaper.This video breaks down:🇩🇪 How Skynex’s AHEAD tungsten cloud kills cruise missiles in milliseconds🇺🇦 How Ukrainian operators used it in real combat📡 The sensor fusion system that makes Skynex nearly impossible to overwhelm💰 How a €4,000 round destroys a $1,000,000 missile🔥 Why Russia’s long-range strike doctrine is collapsing🌍 Why NATO is rushing to buy Skynex batteries right now⚠️ The real limitations and vulnerabilities of the system⚙️ How Skyranger 35 will extend Skynex onto the frontlineSkynex is not “performing well.”It has changed the economics of modern air warfare forever.⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – How Skynex shocked the world01:05 – The battlefield confirmation Ukraine hid for months03:20 – AHEAD rounds: the cruise-missile kill trap06:02 – How Skynex’s sensors make interception inevitable09:11 – The €4,000 intercept that terrifies Russia12:48 – Gepard’s legacy and Russia’s biggest mistake15:10 – Where Skynex fits in Ukraine’s layered shield18:22 – The limits: what Skynex cannot do21:05 – NATO’s rush to mass-produce gun-based air defense24:40 – What this means for the future of warfare#Skynex #Rheinmetall #UkraineWar #UkraineRussia #AirDefense #CruiseMissiles #Kh101 #Kalibr #AHEAD #NATO #UkraineFrontlines #MilitaryTechnology #DefenseAnalysis
