Air defense systems in service with the Ukrainian army are not able to protect the entire territory of the country due to their small number, therefore mobile fire groups are an option to replace them, said Yuriy Ignat , spokesman for the command of the Ukrainian Air Force. .
“We … cannot now cover the entire territory of the country with air defense systems. The Patriots are coming, but the C-300s and Buks are not sustainable either. We are gradually moving along the path of replacing the Soviet fleet of anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM), and mobile fire teams are what we have managed to do and are able to put together, ”Espreso.tv said, quoted by him.
Ignat also said that the weapons used against the Ukrainian side, “no matter what, all the latest.” Ukrainian production is accelerating and adapting to the realities of modern warfare, and “ordinary quadcopters”, which are used to drop grenades, are an invention of today, he added.
On the eve of Ukrainian General Serhiy Melnyk said that in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces there will always be a shortage of manpower, equipment, supplies for artillery and tanks.
