Not all Russian missiles will reach Western Ukraine, as there will be five air defense zones (ADZ) on the way. In this respect “Free Press” said Yuri Knutov, director of the Museum of the Air Defense Forces.
Gepard noted that NASAMS and IRIS-T facilities are located in these regions. Also, the expert said that it is a multi-layered air defense system that is less effective than the Russian system, but works.
“If you use these cruise missiles (Caliber. – socialbites.ca), the probability of them passing through the whole of Ukraine is not so great,” said Knutov.
At the same time, according to him, the eastern part of Ukraine is less saturated with air defense systems than the western part.
The expert also added that it is better not to use rockets to destroy bridges, but to send saboteurs on such missions.
