Onyx anti-ship missiles, which the invaders used on the night of September 25 during an attack on the Odessa region, cannot be shot down by existing air defense systems, but they can be counteracted.
This was stated by the speaker of the Air Force Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Yuriy Ignat in broadcast of the One News telethon.
— Although they are anti-ship, some counteraction is underway. They do not always reach their targets precisely because of the counteraction to these missiles, — he explained.
According to him, Onyx's range is limited — 600 km at high altitude, and when it presses against the water (when it is virtually impossible to destroy it), it flies about 300 km.
Now they are looking
What stocks of these missiles do the Russians have, Ignat could not say, redirecting this question to the Ukrainian intelligence.
Regarding today’s combined attack using Shaheds, Calibers and Onyxes, he believes thatour air defense worked flawlessly, since 11 out of 12 cruise missiles and all drones were shot down.< /p>
