Why It Matters
Military analyst Igor Korotchenko assessed the current capabilities of Ukrainian air defense in the context of ongoing hostilities between Russia and Ukraine.
The potential of the grouping of forces and means of the Ukrainian air defense has actually been exhausted. This conclusion was made by military analyst, editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine Igor Korotchenko, as quoted by TASS.
According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) cannot fend off Russian attacks.
“Our capabilities now, due to the use of new weapons, are much more effective; the group of Ukrainian air defense systems cannot fully parry our attacks, and cannot intercept ballistics at all, since there are no appropriate means yet,” the analyst explained.
