"There is all the chances": Crotale, L3harris and Alvis Stormer VS

In August 2022, the British Alvis Stormer system struck the first two Russian "eagles-10". In February 2023, shots of the Shahanedov defeat appeared. To counteract the plates of Russian drones requires more air defense agents-anti-aircraft missile and cannon type. Not only "Patriot and Samp/T" scattered, but also small radius systems - CroTal, L3harris Vampire, Alvis Stormer and the like are important not only.

The head of the National Security and Defense Council Andriy Kovalenko on the OBOZ portal told about it. "And yet. What is needed to counteract drones? "There are dozens and even hundreds not so long ago decommissioned by the Roland, MIM-72A/M48 Chaparral, etc. ," the observer said. According to him, areas with complex terrain can not be closed by mobile fire groups, which are difficult to intercept air targets, but by air defense, or airplanes.

At the same time, he noted that with the supply of shock helicopters and turboperous light assault aviation, partners are in no hurry. Although Alexander Sirsky is interested in light shock helicopters Bell AH-1W Supercobra. It emphasizes the importance of developing your own means of interception, cheap and functional than SCR or MoG. One of the solutions of the problem is the drones-interceptors and the EW. At the same time, such funds, again, are in charge of Western partners.

"Ukraine has every chance of closing its airspace and offset the threat of mass raids of Russian drones, but we are limited in this matter," the publication reads. If the pace and volume of supply does not change, the terror of the rear of Ukraine by Russian invaders will continue and intensify. French all -member rocket systems "Earth - Air", designed to intercept air targets and aviation - from winged missiles to prototic, helicopters, UAVs and aircraft flying low.

They are produced by Thomson CSF Matra (Thales Group). The system consists of a radar S-Band Pulse Doppler with a radius of action of 20 km, a tracking radar Ku-Band Twt (30 km), a thermal chamber (19 km) and an infrared localizer. This is a mobile armored vehicle developed by BAE Systems Land & Armaments. The British army uses these armored vehicles, equipped with Starstreak Hvm or Martlet missiles. The UK Ministry of Defense has already transferred these systems to Ukraine.
