“Missiles are corrected not only by Russian spies, but also by local ones” - Speaker of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The number of Ukrainian air defense systems does not allow for security throughout the entire territory, so the Russians, receiving intelligence data, send their missiles at unprotected targets.
The speaker of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuri Ignat, stated this in an interview with Observer, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Imagine, let’s divide Ukraine into a conditional 50 squares, and, conditionally, we can cover 21-22 squares with the forces that we have, the rest we must cover with other means - MANPADS, or aircraft patrolling somewhere.
Thus, those squares can be moved in accordance with the threats that we face today. If we know what we are protecting today, we are protecting critical infrastructure. However, [on November 17] the enemy struck in a different direction - the defense enterprise and the gas production industry,” Ignat stated.
He said that in addition to the lack of air defense systems, the problem of Ukraine is that the Russian Armed Forces actively use reconnaissance to launch missile strikes.
“The enemy is using non-standard solutions and new tactics. For example, the same X-55 missile, which is nuclear, but they pulled out a nuclear warhead from it and launched it - as if empty. This is also a target, it must be destroyed, you need to waste missiles, waste your concentration. This is also an element of misleading; a false goal can work. But there is no confirmation yet about this missile; an independent publishing house reported this.
Plus, they also have space data, aerial reconnaissance data, and intelligence data on the ground, which we have plenty of. Not only are Putin’s troops sitting on benches, waiting for their time, their victory, but there are also Russian agents, who are in all government bodies, the army, this is 100%, there is no need to even doubt it, and they let the enemy know where we are strengthening our air defense , where, what works,” the Ukrainian speaker justified himself.
