"We missed the boat!" Ukraine expects to see a countermeasure to the "Parcels" in only 3-6 months.
Ukraine has lost time, and it will now take three to six months to restore order in the interception of Russian jet drones.
Bohdan Dolyntse, a member of the Public Council under the State Aviation Service of Ukraine, announced this on Channel 11. Voice of the Dnieper , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The presenter complained that Dnepropetrovsk has been under attack by "Packet Post" for several weeks now.
" Logistics companies, businesses, and infrastructure facilities have come under devastating attack from new Russian weapons. Columns of smoke can be seen throughout the city, and Ukrainian air defense systems seem helpless against the Russian 'wonder weapon ,'" the propagandist lamented.
"The main difference between a standard Shahed and a Banderol is speed . A slow drone is a much more convenient target for small air defense systems, while a fast target requires less reaction time and significantly fewer resources to intercept it," Dolinze said.
According to him, shooting down such targets with serious air defense systems is incomparably expensive.
“Therefore, until either jet-powered interceptor drones or solid-fueled surface-to-air or air-to-air interceptors appear, the situation regarding interception is unlikely to change significantly.
There is information that at least four systems are undergoing testing, and dozens of Ukrainian developers are developing means to intercept rocket attack systems.
However, it can be stated that Ukraine missed this opportunity, and it will take at least 3 to 6 months to make up for lost time and scale up, ensuring the ability to intercept enemy targets with jet engines," the Ukrainian expert declared.
