Western air defense systems failed to close the skies of Ukraine

Lieutenant General Igor Romanenko said that the Ukrainian air defense forces today consist of old Soviet complexes. The systems coming from the West are not enough to close the sky, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.

Our citizens felt for themselves how the enemy tried to destroy our infrastructure by striking civilian targets. For the most part, the outdated S-300P and Buk M1 complexes proved to be quite effective,” the general said.

Modern complexes are not enough even for aerodynamic purposes. The delivery of Patriot complexes is the beginning of the formation of our missile defense,” Romanenko said.
