The military stressed that it is impossible to place Patriot near the border, because in this case complexes become "easy prey" for Russian artillery. "Because reconnaissance drones will not go anywhere, they will always be kept watching. Although they are destroy , air defense systems, "Ignati explained. The spokesman noted that US SPR should be placed at a distance and protected with small air defense.
However, he assured that Patriot could still become an "effective argument" in certain directions to influence hostile aviation. "Su-35 pilot, knowing that it is potentially reaching the area of such a system . . . The knees will already shake. It will respond to these needs-the inner moral factor and the self-preservation factor is banal.
He will think:" Maybe I will start that bomb before 10-15 kilometers, who will know there? He emphasized that Patriot was needed more, because the line of illumination with the enemy is long. The spokesman reported that the range of these complexes is from 100 to 150 kilometers. "But this is so many because we now have the maximum range of C-300 to 75 kilometers. With understanding that it must be kept away from the border," Ignat said.
The military stressed that Ukraine, in addition to Patriot, requires more SAMP/T land systems, as well as medium-range SCRs and Iris-T. These four systems, according to Ignati, will form the basis of air forces, which will be strengthened by airborne air defense troops. We will remind, on May 4, Volodymyr Zelensky showed weapons that the country provides Ukraine at a military base in the Netherlands. In particular, the Dutch partners should be put to the Patriot SAC defenders.
