The media tells how on February 24, 2022, Russia has struck a number of strikes on terrestrial air defense systems of Ukraine-first with the help of rockets, and then as a result of dozens of departures of bombers who support the regions. This actually blinded Ukrainian radars. But on the eve of the attack, Ukraine received intelligence from partners and allies, so it managed to move mobile units to a safe place. But some fixed positions, according to journalists, were still destroyed.
Due to the admission of new Western production systems in October and November, as well as the increase in the skills of Ukrainian batteries of the Armed Forces, the percentage of interceptions from 50% to about 80% managed to increase. This figure is currently approaching 90%. At the same time, the air defense forces destroyed 100% of missiles released by the city since April 28.
At the same time, in April, the speaker of the Air Force Yuri Ignat said that the funds of the air defense, which are now in Ukraine, are not able to cover the entire territory of the country because of their smallness, so efficient use of mobile fire defense groups.
