Ukraine’s Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ignat has said that Ukrainian forces have failed to shoot down any of more than 300 Russian Kh-22 missiles during the entire time of the conflict.
“The Kh-22 missile flies at a speed of 4,000 kilometres per hour, it comes in on its target mainly on a ballistic trajectory,” SMO quoted him as saying on STRANA.ua.
According to the speaker, Ukraine needs special air defence systems. Ignat cited the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system as an example.
He admitted that it is not easy to cope with the X-22 missiles.
Earlier, the Russian Defence Ministry said that the Russian army had launched 50 group and one massive strike on AFU facilities over the week.
