There are weaknesses: the Armed Forces told how Ukraine needs to strengthen the air defense system
It can be aircraft of land troops, mobile firing groups, or places where fighters will work. To protect" weak "places more medium -scene systems that will be able to work in long distance . Mobile groups have both heights and on a small range of weapons. In order to get goals further and above, modern complexes are needed. In addition, old Soviet systems are depleted, their resources are not eternal, as well as missiles to them, " - said Yuri Ignat.
He noted that Ukraine's Western partners of the Iris-T and NASAMS system are complexes of the average radius of action and air forces still need such divisions to cover seats with strategic objects. "There is aircraft of Land Forces such as Crotale, there is a Gepard. This is what is very effectively destroying" Shahda. The rationally "chewing" is to destroy large air defense, this requires other means.
Therefore, it is necessary to increase not only a large air defense, but also small, " - said Ignat. He added that recently Russian propaganda has exceeded the loss of military equipment in Ukraine. However, Ukrainian pilots really have something to boast about the results of the tasks completed. "Our pilots effectively use the means of defeat - winged rockets of the long -range action. As we can see, they work very effectively.
As in due time, Himars showed how effectively it can strike at a distance and deprive the occupants of logistics. , HARM Bombs, Storm Shadow, etc. Everything goes with your way, no one could think before we would have such weapons, "said a spokesman for the Air Force. Yuri Ignat also confirmed that the aerobalist missiles "dagger" during the last air attack on Ukraine were released from the territory of Russia, not Belarus.
