“We all know the example of Israel, which protects the sky quite well. We all know the name “Iron Dome”, but even it does not protect 100 percent. Moreover, I was in Israel, talked with their manufacturers, state-owned enterprises. “Iron Dome” made against missiles that are slow at low altitudes with an easy hit, made essentially in garages. The Iron Dome does not protect against cruise and ballistic missiles,” the minister stressed.
According to him, now Ukraine needs to develop its own air defense system or receive appropriate weapons from Western partners.
At the same time, Reznikov added that Ukraine has already built the defense of its own sky. Therefore, the invaders are afraid to fly into the territory controlled by the Ukrainian state.
“Enemy planes no longer fly in our skies, because they are afraid and know that we are shooting them down. They use old Kh-22, Kh-55 and other missiles. The aggressor fires them from the territory of Russia, from the territory of Belarus, from the waters of Chernoy even the Caspian Seas, from the temporarily occupied Ukrainian Crimea,” Reznikov said.
