Kiev, we must strengthen air defense system
“We need to develop and strengthen our air defense and missile defense system.” This was stated – as reported by the Kiev Independent – by the Ukrainian defense minister, Oleksiy Reznikov, specifying that so far a rather large number of Russian missiles and aircraft have been shot down but the defense of the sky must be significantly strengthened. “We already have the protection of our sky today – continued Reznikov – which is not perfect, but we shoot down a lot of missiles. Enemy planes no longer fly in our skies because they are afraid and know we will shoot them down. They use old missiles and shoot them from the territory of Russia, the territory of Belarus, the waters of the Black Sea and even the Caspian Sea, temporarily occupied Ukrainian Crimea. The enemy is afraid to approach ”. As for the “Iron dome” system, the minister explained that it is ineffective in Ukraine as it is used for slow, low-altitude and low-damage missiles but does not protect against cruise and ballistic missiles.
