The Koral is an anti-aircraft missile developed by the Luch Design Bureau that can take down unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, aeroplanes, and helicopters.
The Koral missile prototype was initially made public in 2021.
Ukraine currently depends primarily on foreign air defence systems to keep drones and missiles out of the airspace.
