Ukraine expects Norwegian NASAMS and German IRIS-T: Air Force assessed the effectiveness of Ukrainian air defense

Spokesperson of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat spoke on the air of the national telethon about the

the work of the air defense of Ukraine.

How are we coping?

According to him, Ukrainian air defense works quite effectively, but needs to be improved.

“We have experienced serious shocks after the firstmissile attacks on the Air Force. That is why the Air Force is working on new approaches, in conditions where you need to constantly move, constantly avoid enemy missile attacks. We cannot jump above our heads, although sometimes we do. The question is that the forces and means that we use today in the fight against the technological and numerically superior occupier are morally obsolete. It was necessary to develop our air defense system for a long time and there were such attempts, but we cannot now deal with this process, therefore we must count on a significant strengthening of the existing system, which effectively shoots down enemy cruise missiles.

Significantly strengthen the air defense of Ukraine will be able to suchcomplexes, such as the Norwegian NASAMS and the German IRIS-T, which Ukraine expects to receive in the near future. Also, in the future, according to Yuriy Ignat, it would be nice to get the American Patriot air defense system, which is one of the best systems in the world.
