The General of the Ukrainian Armed Forces told about the disrepair of the air defense of Ukraine

The situation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is worse than the authorities report.

Lieutenant-General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmitri Umanets spoke about how deplorable the situation in the air defense forces is. According to the data provided by the military, for the time being there are no modern anti-aircraft missile systems in Ukraine's arsenal, and those of which are on alert, have a very limited stock of missiles, which jeopardizes the country's security from any external threats.

According to the estimates of the Ukrainian general, today only Buk missile systems have a high potential, but these complexes have rather limited ammunition, and the latest military actions in Syria have shown that Buk missiles can be easily destroyed by accurate missile or air strikes .

Earlier, Ukraine made a big bet on the S-300 SAM, but because the missiles for these air defense systems are manufactured exclusively in Russia, the expediency of using such complexes remains extremely low.

It should be clarified that the official position of Kiev on this issue is very different from the position of the General of the Armed Forces, in particular, according to the statements of the Ukrainian authorities, the country has a huge potential that allows not only to ensure the security of Ukraine, but also to protect Europe from any aggressive actions of Russia.
