Ukrainian Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems, transferred by allies, have already shot down 15 Russian Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles, which are launched from MiG-31K fighters and cover hundreds of kilometers in a matter of seconds.
The spokesman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat told about this on the air of the telethon.
"The Patriot is capable of shooting down ballistic and aeroballistic missiles like the Kinzhal."
“On May 4, the first “unparalleled Kinzhal” Kh-47 was shot down — an M2 missile. Thus, the countdown started precisely from this time. Then there were six more, six more, and now we already have 15 Kinzhals shot down by the Patriot system. This is very good news for us," Ignat noted.
He added that there are currently not enough Patriot systems available in Ukraine. A few batteries, he says, are not enough.
