"We are ready every day": no "dagger" since May 2023 has reached Kiev - the Armed Forces

Since May last year, no aerobalist missile X-47M2 "Dagel" has never been able to fly to the capital. This was stated by the commander of the 96th anti-aircraft missile brigade Colonel of the Air Force Sergey Yaremenko in an interview with Ukrinform. According to him, in general during the Great War, the enemy released more than 20 "daggers" in the capital, and after Ukraine received Patriot from Western partners of the Patriot, they were successfully intercepted.

"When we work against ballistics, it does not matter to us whether it is" X-47M dagger, or "Iskander-M", or 48H (a rocket using C-400), or "Zircon", launched from the Bastion missile system ". For us this is primarily the ballistic goal. Already then analysts, experts on the basis of certain characteristics, the search for debris identify what it was the air target.

I will say the only thing: all" daggers "that were launched in the capital of Ukraine, from the moment When it was announced that the anti -aircraft missile complex Patriot was in charge of combat duty, everyone was successfully intercepted, " - said Sergei Yaremenko. That is, the representative of the Air Force continues, no ballistic goal since May 2023 has been able to reach the borders of Kiev.

Recently, the Russians have virtually ceased to attack Kiev, and this may be due to the fact that the defense forces effectively reflect the attacks. "Russia, having existing means, determines the list of objects for impact. It may be interested in other objects during this period. But periodically, of course, important state objects in the Kyiv region are also under the influence of enemy strikes. We are ready daily Every second at any time of the day to such calls, "-summed up Sergey Yaremenko.
