< p _ngcontent-sc140="" class="news-annotation">The Armed Forces of Ukraine have information that Russia will enhance its capabilities with Iranian ballistic missiles. These missiles are very hard to shoot down, so the best thing is to prevent their delivery to the aggressor country.
This was stated by the speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat at a briefing, channel 24 reports.
According to him, Ukraine does not have such anti-missile defense systems to effectively counteract ballistic missiles. p>
Our ZRV experts say the best defense against them is to destroy them in warehouses. If there are no mechanisms in the world to prevent their supply, Ignat said.
At the same time, he stressed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are still looking for methods to deal with them. It is known that these ballistic missiles have a range of 700 kilometers.
An interesting detail! on much worse tactical and technical characteristics.
At the same time, earlier a representative of the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine boasted that the rate of Iranian drones shot down by Ukrainian troops is growing and reaches up to 85% in recent days, but “a lot of effort and money are being spent for this.” While Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that Ukrainian air defense already shoots down about 60% of air targets. He announced that the results will improve in the near future.
What is known about Iranian ballistics
- Iran is secretly helping Russia with weapons in the war against Ukraine. It became known that in addition to drones, Russia can also receive Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar ballistic missiles from Iran. He tried to actively use them through his proxy military groups. It was with these missiles that the Iranians tried to strike at Israel and other targets. At the same time, the air defense coped with it.
- As noted by the head of the Center for Military Legal Research, military expert Alexander Musienko, in terms of technical characteristics, a ballistic missile is somewhat heavier for interception than a cruise missile. However, it cannot be intercepted by air defenses or detections.
