This was announced today, April 21, in his Telegram channel by the commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Nikolai Oleshchuk, posting a corresponding photo.
He stressed that the Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners completed training on these systems much earlier than planned.
I checked the combat positions of the “Patriot” air defense system in one of the directions! Oleshchuk noted. – In the photo behind me, the launcher of the Patriot air defense system, which is already on combat duty in the air defense system of Ukraine!
According to Oleshchuk, Ukraine, albeit in small numbers, already has such modern Western missile systems in service:
- NASAMS;
- IRIS-T;
- Patriot;
- SAMP/T;
- Crotale;
- Gepard and others.
In order for the puzzle of promising Ukrainian air defense to finally take shape, the air force needs an F-16 aircraft! he stressed.
Recall, on April 19, it became known that Patriot air defense systems from the United States, the Netherlands and Germany arrived in Ukraine.
