How Ukrainian REB Outsmarted The Kinzhals

We managed to suppress 58 missiles.

The Ukrainian Lima REB system has already neutralized 58 Kinzhal air ballistic missiles. It is also effective against cruise missiles and drones. This is very good, but some nuances should be taken into account.

The AFU reserve colonel, flight instructor and military expert Roman Svitan told "24 Kanal" that REB systems are one of the components of air defense. They overlap a certain proportion, but cannot completely replace everything.

What are the nuances of how REB assets work?"

Sweetan said that REB assets like the Lima are indeed capable of deflecting a missile away from its target. But, unfortunately, they will not be able to be used in all terrain.

- If the Dagger flies through a densely populated area, it can fall on people's heads after deflection. From the point of view of REB - this is a really high-quality tool with good efficiency, but for separate purposes. For example, for airfields. They can cover them not only from ballistics, but also from cruise missiles and drones," Svitan said.

Ukraine is working to introduce a multi-echelon air defense system. It is it that will allow to fully cover our state from enemy missiles and drones. And REB means are one of the important parts of this air defense system.

The Lima REB developer company Cascade Systems reported that it managed to deflect 33 cruise missiles and more than 10 thousand drones in the first quarter of 2026.
