"Opportunities are not limitless": the Armed Forces explained why air defense is beating Balism only over Kiev (video)

A spokesman for the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Yuri Ignat on the air of the All -Ukrainian TEMRAFON told about the details of counteracting the strokes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. According to Ignati, the Armed Forces received two Patriot Divisions from partners. Each division has a radius of the lesion up to 40 km (ie closes the area of ​​5024 kV).

The anti -aircraft missile issued by this Western air defense system is capable of knocking down ballistic missiles, but "opportunities are not limitless. " In particular, it has time to knock the Russian goal that flies to Kiev (200 km from the border from the Russian Federation). Instead, Kharkiv is not always able to protect (40 km from the border). The Patriot Patriot obtained is too small to protect even major Ukrainian cities, Ignat stressed.

At the same time, he reminded that Ukraine will soon receive another division from Western partners. "Therefore, one can only imagine how many such systems need to cover the territory of Ukraine. At least to protect all major cities, objects, etc. ," the air force spokesman explained. However, Yuri Ignat spoke about other air defense devices that Ukraine has to protect against drones-Kamikadze, which Russia regularly fired at the cities of Ukraine.

He pointed out that Gepard (range up to 5 km), Iris-T ("Radar sees a sparrow for 200 km") and mobile firing groups at machine gun pickups (range up to 2 km) work excellent. It should be noted that in 1976, 1106 MIM-104 Patriot (2008 data) was released, which is approximately 138 divisions (in one division-8 PU). Considering that the area of ​​Ukraine is 603 628 square meters.

km, then you need to have 120 divisions to protect against the ballistics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, in June 2023, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called the figure - 50 batteries: Ignatus agreed that this would be enough. In November, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation attacked Ukraine with several types of shells: Drone-Kamikadze Shahd-136, Iskander ballistic missiles, Onyx flights, etc. ,-reports the Air Force Command on Facebook.

On November 14, the enemy used Balism and Shahda, confirmed in the Air Force of the Armed Forces. At the same time, drones were able to reach the Lviv region. On November 11, Kiev became the target of the Russians. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that it had tried to hit the BC of the Armed Forces. The Russians used a complex of shells-drones-Kamikadze and a ballistic missile. On November 6, Odesa was injured in the Russian Federation.

Russian rockets have damaged buildings in the city center: in particular - an art museum. In a few days, the Onyx rocket touched a foreign shipment that was part of the Southern port. The blow of the Russians killed the Ukrainian pilot, and the wreckage crushed the steering felling and a metal cladding. We would like to remind you that on November 13, Yuri Ignat spoke about the new opportunities of the Ukrainian air defense system.
