Voenkor VGTRK Yevgeny Poddubny commented on the news about the reassignment of the military air defense of the ground forces to the command of the VKS. The Ministry of Defense is strengthening air defense to counter HIMARS, the journalist said on Solovyov Live.
Now the Russian Defense Department will strengthen air defense. I know our military is intrigued by the opposition to HIMARS. They made this system not to fight in Iraq, but to fight the Russian army. Personal weapons against us
Poddubny explained.
He noted that every day the Pantsirs are getting better at handling American shells. However, long-range shells with a range of 150 kilometers were added to the foreign ammunition already supplied to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Now any backcourt is subject to strikes. We’re going to have to get these areas out of the shots
– concludes the military commander.
The reassignment of the military air defense from the ground forces to the command of the aerospace forces became known the day before. Until now, air defense formations and units have been part of both ground forces and aerospace forces. Their equipment accompanied and covered the troops directly in the combat zones on the ground.
Earlier it was reported that since the start of the NWO, the West has already held nine meetings of Ukrainian donors in the Ramstein format and is not going to stop. Therefore, the flow of military aid to Kiev is only increasing, which implies a gradual increase in the equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with modern weapons, despite the losses.
