Ukrainian air defenses are not anti-missile. Their task is to destroy enemy aircraft, not missiles.
The main objective of the Ukrainian air defense system is to shoot down enemy planes and helicopters, not missiles. This was announced at a briefing on Tuesday, June 14, by Yuriy Ignat, spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“We have air defense weapons in service, not missile defense. The main task of our anti -aircraft missile systems is enemy aircraft – planes, helicopters. But we also fire cruise missiles. Yes, unfortunately not all of them, ”he said.
According to him, Russia’s missiles are high-tech and designed to be covert and fly at ultra-low altitudes, from 50 meters.
“It can fly, say, along the Dniester, like at the beginning of the war, and it’s missing the radar and not all air defense systems can be destroyed,” Ignat added, explaining why some of the missiles the enemy reaches the target. .
Recall that now Russian missiles were fired at four regions of Ukraine simultaneously. We are talking about Chernihiv, Lvov, Khmelnytsky and Ternopil.
Recall that on the eve of Pryluky, Chernihiv region, three enemy missiles hit.
