The West forbids the destruction of enemy rockets and Patriot Patriot is not a panacea from Russian strikes (video)

Diplomats should be convinced of the event to be allowed to beat their missiles on the starting complexes of the Russian Federation, because intelligence knows where the occupiers are firing Ukraine. Fighting with all Patriot is a very expensive business, says the reserve major Alexei Hetman.

Ukraine is extremely needed by Patriot air defense systems, but to apply them against any purpose in the sky is a waste and does not save from rockets of the Russian Federation, which has accumulated several thousand. Western partners should transfer more different air defense complexes to Ukraine that are adapted to counteract a variety of air weapons, which the occupiers attack Ukrainian cities.

Alexei Hetman's major and a participant of the Russo-Ukrainian War told this in an interview with focus. He notes that Germany handed us three Patriot complexes of the 12 they have, and the United States has 60 such air defense systems, but did not give Ukraine any of them. Of course, the initiative of European countries is commendable to share and buy aircraft to protect Ukraine.

"Now there is no problem to find where and how many Patriot is in the world, because it is open information," says the hetman. "The problem is different: whether the country-owner wants to share or sell it to us. " The military emphasizes that Patriot exclusively cannot be used to destroy any enemy goals, because it is very expensive. In addition, other air defense systems that are cheaper are best used to counteract different air purposes.

"Patriot, of course, can knock down the" dagger "missiles, but the occupiers beat in Ukrainian cities and old C-300, which have accumulated more than 5000 pieces," the reserve major notes. It is with his help to fight for all purposes. " In addition, according to the hetman, it is a full delusion to ban the West with the help of his weapons to destroy rocket plants in the Russian Federation, so as not to "escalate Putin".

The Armed Forces and Intelligence are well aware of where the rockets of the Russian Federation come from, but they can not destroy the starting complexes: it does not have its long -range missiles, and western it is forbidden to use. "Our diplomats have to work more hard here to solve this problem," Hetman notes. "We still have to knock down the launched missiles, and if we could destroy the complexes themselves, then the shelling of Ukraine would be much reduced.

" We will remind, on April 18, German Chancellor Olaf Scholtz stated that Ukraine can get from NATO countries 6 more Patriot systems. He stated that work was underway to implement this initiative. On April 18, the Netherlands proposed to buy Patriot for Ukraine from countries that do not want to transfer them just. According to Prime Minister Mark Rutte, there are many states that "sit on a large pile of Patriot systems", and Ukraine is very needed for protection against Russian missiles right now.
