Not even in the US: The Telegraph called weapons that helped Ukrainians destroy Russian fighters

In February 2023, Joe Baiden's administration announced a military assistance package that included "equipment for integration of Western starting installations, missiles and radars with Ukraine's air defense systems. " In two years of a full -scale war, Russia could lose at least three times more than aircraft from the average.

The Ukrainian military managed to knock down Russian aviation through a certain reception - they took some of the components from the American Patriot missile battery and combined them into mobile groups. This was reported by The Telegraph. A pair of quadrilateral launchers Patriot connected to the radar of a distant radius through radio communication could ambush on Russian aircraft at a distance of 90 miles (144 kilometers).

The publication believes that this has allowed Ukrainians to knock down several Russian fighters at the end of last year. On February 23, the destruction of the Russian A-50 aircraft over the Azov Sea occurred for 120 miles (193 kilometers) from the front line, but this distance is large for Patriot. Instead, the only rocket system with such a distance that Ukraine has is the Soviet C-200. In 2013, the Ukrainian Air Force decommissioned their C-200, but some of them returned last year.

However, it is unclear what radars are guided by these missiles, as the original Soviet radiate a lot of energy, so they produce a rocket launch and give pilots time to evasion. Ukrainians could find a cunning way to use their missiles. In February 2023, Baiden's administration announced a military assistance package that included "equipment for integration of Western starting installations, missiles and radars with Ukraine's air defense systems.

" Analysts perceive this as a reverse of the integrated US Army combat system - Integrated Battle Command System. In particular, it is a set of processes, radio channels and algorithms that allow almost any radar and air defense missile to work together. "The development of IBCS is not yet fully completed, but it is close. The Americans have not yet unfolded any major IBCS components, but the Poles have done it," the journalists said.
