According to military experts, the NATO Summit of Air Defense (Air Defense) will not reliably protect the large border cities of Ukraine from rocket strikes. In particular, Kharkiv, Sumy, Nikolaev and Chernihiv will be threatened, the German edition of Bild reports.
Now two Patriot air defense complexes protect the sky over Kiev, one at a time - Lviv and Odessa, reports the publication on the basis of open data.
The event also promised Ukraine three new Patriot and SAMP/T. According to experts, they can be poisoned in defense of the Dnieper, Kryvyi Rih, Vinnitsa and the future base of the F-16 in the west of Ukraine, which will be located, probably in Khmelnytsky region.
At the same time too close to the front line or the Russian border they will not be able to use them.
"There is developed Russian intelligence with drones, the likelihood of detecting and destroying Western air defense complexes with Russian weapons. Only F-16 or blows into the territory of the Russian Federation, which are not yet, can solve this problem," the newspaper writes.
Patriot and samp/t are not combined with each other, they have different software. Therefore, in the case of failure of one of the systems the other will not be able to replace it.
