Article Summary

This article describes how Russia is upgrading its Kh-101 cruise missiles with new countermeasures like spectral flares and electronic warfare systems to get past Ukraine’s air defenses, while Ukraine claims to still intercept most of these missiles. It focuses on the technical back-and-forth between Russian missile improvements and Ukrainian defenses, using expert analysis and recovered missile fragments as evidence. However, it doesn’t mention any human impact—like civilian casualties or damage—from these attacks, keeping the tone focused on military technology rather than people affected.
