Ukrainian air defense is very effective. The coefficient of missiles shot down during the attack on December 29 was 70-75%, and those aimed at Kyiv were generally 100%. > said military expert Yuri Fedorov. In his opinion, such an air defense efficiency happens once every 10 years, if you look at the history of wars in recent decades.
At the same time, we did not receive so many Western complexes. Significantly larger weapons are what Ukraine already had. This is very high efficiency. Here Ukraine is ahead of the whole planet,” a military expert noted.
How many attacks will there be
Yuri Fedorov believes that the Russians are capable of carrying out no more than 3 – 4 large missile attacks.
“The head of the GUR, General Kirill Budanov, said a few days ago that the Russians are capable of 3-4 attacks. Accordingly, one can estimate how many such attacks can still be. Not very many, but, unfortunately, they can,” the military expert believes.

Putin is shaking Ukrainians
The military expert assured that such strikes are one of the foundations of Putin's strategy for Ukraine. The Kremlin dictator is trying to force the population of Ukraine to put pressure on the government so that it capitulates.
But these hopes are absolutely wrong, nothing like this will happen, Fedorov summed up.
