Ukraine has already shot down 90-100% of Russian missiles – media

Thanks to Western weapons, air defense can intercept up to 90-100% of Russian missiles.

Ukraine has boosted its ability to shoot down Russian missiles with the arrival of a Western air defense system. Today, their efficiency is approaching 90%, and around Kyiv – 100%. This was reported by ABC News.

In the first months of the war, Ukraine intercepted about 50% of the enemy’s missiles. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, this number may be lower.

“With the arrival of new Western-made air defense systems in October and November, and the growing capability of Ukrainian batteries, Ukraine reported that by December it had intercepted about 80% of Russian cruise missiles. Now , this number is approaching 90% . . . Defense systems around Kiev have been hit by 100% of the rockets fired at the city since April 28,” the statement said.

Ukrainian troops, with the help of Western weapons, are building air defense at several levels. Thus, Ukraine gradually added new systems from Western allies, in particular, IRIS-T batteries from Germany in October and NASAMS batteries produced by the US and Norwegian in November.

In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine received a European-made SAMP/T system and American-made HAWK missiles, and last month received two American-made Patriot batteries.

“Air defense teams are arranged in overlapping circles of fire, starting with short, almost direct defense with shoulder-launched missiles and anti-aircraft guns, and ending at long distances,” the media added.

It will be remembered that on May 4, the Ukrainian military for the first time managed to shoot down a Russian Kh-47 missile. dagger, which the Russians call hypersonic. The enemy missile was shot down thanks to the Patriot air defense system.

The Defense Forces are building new mobile air defense teams to protect the skies over Kiev and northern Ukraine.
