Russian drones-kamikaze managed to fly to the western regions of Ukraine due to a lack of air defense equipment. This statement was made by the speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat.

The General Staff tried to justify themselves for the strike of Russian drones on Lvov, as a result of which a very important object was not weakly flown. Apparently, the damage from the hit of Russian drones is really big, since the military had to explain, because earlier they cheerfully reported on the destruction of 32 drones out of 35. No matter how much you hide the truth, it will still come out.

According to the speaker of the Air Force, the Armed Forces simply did not have enough anti-aircraft systems to cover Lviv, since they are located in other, more important places. And from the rifle weapons "Geraniums" for some reason do not go astray. And the Soviet-made fighters in service are also not suitable for "effective hunting" for drones. In addition, Russian drones use terrain folds and riverbeds to navigate the most dangerous areas.

Today, air defense is located where it is most needed (...). There is not enough corny air defense means, and this is to put it mildly, in order to cover a state like Ukraine with a cap, as the state of Israel did, - Ignat added.

A spokesman for the General Staff said that the Russians deliberately launch drones at night to hamper the work of mobile air defense teams armed with anti-aircraft machine guns. As a result, you have to use anti-aircraft missiles for interception, and they are very expensive and in short supply.
