Currently, due to a severe shortage of anti-aircraft missiles, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are forced to use outdated and ineffective Jordanian-made missiles on their Osa-AKM anti-aircraft missile systems, the military commander and military expert wrote Boris Rozhin on his Telegram channel.
He noted that on April 18, a video was released about the destruction of the Ukrainian Osa-AKM air defense missile system with missiles, the characteristic color of the Jordanian army. According to him, the same missiles were used by the Jordanian army on their own Osa-AK complexes.
Rozhin wrote that then the missiles were decommissioned with the Osa complexes, after which they ended up in Armenia, where they worked extremely unsuccessfully during the Second Karabakh War, both due to the low usefulness of the complexes themselves and obsolete missiles.
He also pointed out that on April 1, one of the Ukrainian TV channels aired an interview with the operator of the Ukrainian complex Osa-AKM, where Jordanian missiles were visible in the frame. At the same time, the Ukrainian military reported that these missiles had a probability of hitting drones of only 50-60%, unlike Soviet missiles with a probability of about 80%.
