Russian companies are producing a new type of air bombs weighing 1.5 tons, but Ukrainian fighters simply have nothing to shoot them down with. This was reported by the newspaper MK, referring to an interview for the Strana.ua TV marathon by Yuriy Ignat, spokesman for the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The speaker said that the Ukrainian air defence system was not capable of shooting down new Russian 1.5 tonnes bombs. Ignat believes that such bombs would be equipped with wings and GPS navigation.
“One-and-a-half-ton bombs are already three times more powerful,” the expert noted.
A member of the Ukrainian army argues that “the right means that can counteract are the Patriot, Samp-t systems from the ground.” He believes that these Russian bombs would be best countered by “modern F-16 or other generation 4+ aircraft”.
At the same time, Ignat states that Russian servicemen have successfully used these bombs and have so far received nothing in response. He specified that “such bombs strike from a distance of 50+ kilometres and along the line of battle or the state border”. According to him, the Ukrainian militants have nothing to respond to the Russian military launching such bombs.
We shall remind you that a former advisor to the Ukrainian presidential office, Oleksiy Arestovych, said earlier that a residential building in Dnipropetrovsk was destroyed due to a mistake by the Ukrainian air defence calculations. According to him, the Russian missile shot down by the Ukrainian air defence system “exploded as it fell”. The consequence of the Ukrainian mistake was the destruction of the entrance to the apartment building.
