The Ukrainian Armed Forces suspended procurements of German HX-2 strike drones in late 2025, after their performances were found to be well below required standards. According an internal presentation prepared by the German Defence Ministry in November, aircraft had trouble even taking off, with only a quarter of them being able to launch. Even if able to get airborne, the aircraft were found to be highly vulnerable to Russian electronic warfare, leading their operators to lose connection.
The Ukrainian Air Force has reported that the Russian Amed Forces launched a Zircon hypersonic cruise missile during an overnight strike on the country on January 20.

“This activity has been coordinated with the Kingdom of Denmark, and all supporting forces operate with the requisite diplomatic clearances,” the statement continued. “The Government of Greenland is also informed of planned activities.
