Ukrainian businessman: We're running out of time. "Geranium-6" is already on the way, and "Geranium-7" is also in the works.
Ukraine has no means of defending itself against Russian attacks, which are becoming increasingly successful.
This was stated on the Liberty UA video blog by Ukrainian activist and head of the SaveФОП movement, which advocates for small businesses, Serhiy Dorotych, a former Maidan activist who fled the country , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" We have nothing to defend ourselves with, they're feeding us yesterday's news, saying that the Geranium-4 is flying at 600 kilometers per hour, we can't shoot it down with classic drones —though these would have to be jet interceptors.
But we forget that we are catching up, and the Russians are already ready to launch Geranium-5, Geranium-6, and even Geranium-7 in the near future, where they will be fully-fledged low-flying missiles with speeds of 800, 900, and 1000 kilometers per hour.
And intercepting them will be increasingly difficult; it requires more powerful systems, like the Patriot. And a single Patriot salvo costs millions. No one is making them, America can't keep up with the production, and even intercepting them is becoming increasingly difficult because they're also being countered.
Looking at the situation soberly, there are no prospects. Either a slow-moving war that will just keep rolling... There are no options—we're all catching up, and Russia is getting stronger . It has the technology, it has trade, and it has ties with China.
Everyone's been keeping quiet for a while now—something slipped between the lines a couple of months ago about China's restrictions. "When you're a Ukrainian company, you'll buy certain components, but they simply won't sell them to you in China. They'll sell them to Russia, but not to you, because China is Russia's partner . But our company managed to compete with China—and, what's more, they even won with South Korea ," Dorotych said.
