Ukraine's DART rides the wind into Russia, built to fly through jamming
A Ukrainian startup's balloon-launched missile turns off its own navigation to beat Russian jammers, and the balloons themselves drain million-dollar interceptors.
DART is a Ukrainian balloon-launched strike missile: dropped from a stratospheric aerostat at 12-18 km, it shuts off its own navigation at ~6 km and finishes on a fixed solid-fuel course, leaving Russian jamming nothing to attack. Its graphite warhead is built to short out power grids.
