The Ukrainian air defense will not be easy to respond to shelling from these systems, because the flight speed of these missiles is very high – more than 3.5 thousand km / h. Only Patriot and SAMP/T air defense systems, which are capable of intercepting ballistic missiles, can do anything. It is very difficult to shoot them down with anti-aircraft systems. Yury Ignat spoke about the speaker of the Air Force Command on June 13 on the air of the telethon.
Of course, these missiles fly quite fast and it is difficult to react to them. You can influence by some other means, but I think that systems capable of intercepting ballistics can cope with them, he noted.
According to Ignat, it is easier to destroy the Bal installations on Russian territory that launch these missiles than the air targets themselves.
Recall that the speaker of the Air Force, Yuri Ignat, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not destroy the launchers of the Iskander-M OTRK in Russia, since Ukraine promised its partners not to attack the Russian Federation with weapons that we are provided with. However, these launchers will be destroyed if they operate in the occupied territories.
