Protection from the Sky: The Armed Forces told whether Ukraine will be able to create a "airboard"
He stressed that the achievement of this goal will be accomplished only in the presence of all the components provided in the concept of the Air Force. Ignati emphasized that the desire of Ukrainians to have a reliable "air shield", which provides protection against any possible celestial threats, is really strong. However, he stressed that the current Ukrainian reality may not allow this idea. "It is a country like Israel, can afford such a shield," Ignat said.
In addition, the speaker noted that even the famous Israeli "Iron Dome" is not always capable of providing complete protection in the case of massive attacks by various means. "It was approved before the war and it is stated there, what the air defense should be," he stressed. In addition, Ignati emphasized that air forces are always ready to respond to threats from the sky.
He stressed that our country is fully aware of the severity of the situation and does not store anti -aircraft systems in stock, since every available resource is valuable and can be used to ensure the security of Ukraine. Yuri Ignat emphasized that to raise the issue of comparing the level of protection of different cities in the context of air defense can be quite risky for discussion.
"All Ukraine is protected in one way or another, of course, Kyiv, as the center of our country, as the heart of the country is always under the sight of the enemy. Therefore, where the enemy directs more attacks, there will be more protection," the representative said. He stressed that now the enemy is attacked by millionaire cities, where various enterprises work, which the enemy wants to impress, including infrastructure.
"Russians are not only killed by military facilities, but also on infrastructure, our economy, fuel and energy sector, port infrastructure, in granaries, this is all that the enemy wants to impress, in order to break the country Inside, to break Ukrainian resistance, "Ignat said. Finally, he emphasized that Kyiv, as the location of all state institutions, the National Bank of Ukraine, Government Organizations, etc. , is of particular interest to potential enemies.
However, the Air Force seeks to ensure air defense of all regions of our country and take this when new complexes and resources appear. We will remind, earlier the representative of the Air Force of the Armed Forces Yuri Ignat reported that Western partners gave Ukraine almost all the number of means of air defense they promised, but this is not enough.
