Ukraine will receive one IRIS-T battery and two NASAMS batteries from partners. For effective air defense, we need 1 battery of these systems for each regional center.
This Channel 24 was told by military expert Oleg Zhdanov. He also noted that, provided that they are placed in sectors, then such systems are capable of intercepting them along the missile flight route. missiles fly by, and if you put the complex there, it will help a lot,” Zhdanov notes.
According to him, the number of air defense systems transferred from partners can provide a critical minimum, but if this is the first step, then you just need to increase the number, the number of batteries should reach tens of pieces.
Can partner countries share air defense with us
“NASAMS systems are in service in 12 countries, not all of these batteries are on combat duty. Some of of them in storage, if the countries shared at least a third of them with us, this would solve our problem,” the expert sums up. Ukrainians like the day before – with a long air raid. During its hit, there were 2 energy facilities in the Lviv region. One person was injured in the attack. 30% of the city is without electricity, and sometimes there are problems with water supply.
In the Vinnitsa region, the Russians attacked the Ladyzhynska thermal power plant, and in Zaporozhye – residential buildings. In Rivne, Khmelnitsky, Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa and Kyiv regions, enemy missiles shot down air defense forces.
