Iskander’s speed of 900 km per hour and 300 km for such a rocket is quite moderate, Yuri Ignat said.
Russian troops tried to take Kyiv by surprise and therefore used high-speed Iskander missiles on Thursday. This is what the spokesman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ignat, said on the air of the telethon on June 1.
“When Iskander attacks, there is very little time to take cover. 300 km is too short for the approach of such a missile. Iskanders are very fast, so the enemy uses them to have minimum time to react,” said Ignat.
He remembered that Iskander’s speed of 900 km per hour was relatively low and 300 km for such a rocket.
According to him, if ballistic missiles fly from the Caspian or the Black Sea, then, accordingly, there is about an hour to react and go to cover.
Here’s what we’re talking about in a few minutes. Therefore, the enemy wants to be surprised and hit, so that the air defense cannot react, said Ignat.
Remember that tonight Russia attacked Kyiv with Iskander missiles. In the Desnyansky district of Kyiv, fragments of a Russian rocket fell. Three people died there, including a child, 12 people were injured (including a child). There were victims in the Dniprovsky district of the capital.
Ukrainian defenders destroyed all enemy air targets fired at Kyiv: seven Iskander-M and three Iskander-K missiles.
