Ukraine’s New Tridon MK2 ENTERS Service — russia’s Shaheds Are In Trouble (video commentary)

02/08/2026

Sweden and Denmark are sending Tridon Mk2 air defense systems to Ukraine, and in this video I break down why a modern 40mm bang bang with the right radar and smart rounds is exactly how you turn Shaheds into confetti without burning expensive missiles.

I walk through the joint procurement, the timeline, and why the framing matters: Russia keeps targeting power, heating, and civilian infrastructure because it’s cheaper than fighting Ukrainian brigades and it fits the Kremlin’s personality. Ukraine’s answer has to be layered, scalable, and affordable per round, which is where Tridon shines.

Then I get into the hit chain, because the Tridon isn’t the story, the system is. Tridon Mk2 pairs a modernized Bofors 40mm lineage with Saab’s Giraffe 1X radar and command-and-control integration, plus programmable 3P proximity-fuzed bang bangs that can burst near small targets and shred them with fragments. That combination is how you survive mass raids, not by heroically launching “Ferrari missiles” at scooter drones.

Subscribe if you’re feeling froggy. It helps keep the coffee flowing. For my long-time viewers, “Studio A” (the same background) might be getting a bit stale. I’m working on a “Studio B” for next week, and I’d like to start doing more shorts and location videos; (after I finish the bar exam in two weeks).

Tldr: Sweden and Denmark have jointly funded new Tridon Mark II air defense systems for Ukraine, significantly boosting their capabilities. These systems, featuring advanced military tech, are designed to turn Russian drones into confetti, effectively enhancing Ukraine’s anti aircraft defenses. This latest aid in the russia Ukraine war showcases continued international support.
