Can't just buy: why the air defense of Ukraine lacks radars to fight "shahas"

To spread: Ukraine lacks radar stations (radar) to effectively knock down the "chewa" drones, but it is not easy to find a complex with the desired characteristics. The radar provides information on the location of the air goals so that the military then beaten them with affordable means, including UAVs. The details in an interview with focus were told by an officer involved in Ukraine's air defense. According to him, Ukraine can not simply buy the right amount of radar to fight "Shahmed".

Depending on the size of the goal, different types of stations are required. In the case of drones-interceptors, the information should be up to meters, and such equipment is expensive and not everyone can produce it. "They are produced in Ukraine, but they are not large enough and do not fully meet the requirements. There is a problem, but I would not say that it is a reason for panic, because it is solved. We once had one Patritot, then two, then gradually their number increased.

The Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrsky spoke about a lack of radar at a meeting with journalists at the end of June. According to him, this is the main problem of effective use of drones-interceptors against Russian UAVs. According to a specialist in radio technologies Sergey Beskrestnov, without a radar station, the drone cannot find, catch up and impress Shahad. The air defense officer also told when the interceptors will be able to systematically knock out "Shahda".
