Don’t trust Myths!
The Air Forces of Ukraine would like to draw your attention to incorrect information published in many Ukrainian and foreign media about the situation in the Ukrainian skies, as well as the support of Ukraine by our allies.
Myth 1: Ukraine’s success on land is enough to win. Truth: Air superiority is the decisive factor in this war.
Myth 2: The Ukrainian Air Forces have weapons to effectively defend the country from Russian invasion.
Truth: Russian air defense systems outperform those of Ukrainian. They have access to more modern radars and missile technologies.
Myth 3: Stingers or other MANPADS compensate the lack of equipment and machinery of the Air Forces of Ukraine.
Truth: For a successful resistance to Russian aircraft in the sky o (including cruise missiles), Ukraine needs both fighters and anti-aircraft medium and long range missile systems.
Myth 4: The United States and NATO provide Ukraine with the necessary weapons. The Allies have been doing everything possible except taking part in the war.
Truth: Our allies have not responded to our call for air defense (fighters and SAM) so far.
Ground-based air defense systems will help to prevent air strikes and missile strikes. Russia has fired more than 1,000 ballistic and cruise missiles and dropped hundreds of tons of unguided bombs on Ukrainian cities and villages. Most of them could be intercepted if the Ukrainian sky had been protected by the necessary number of modern air defense systems.
At present, Ukraine has at its disposal the S-300 long-range anti-aircraft missile systems (SA-10) and the Buk-M1 medium-range missile defense system. However, these are outdated Soviet-era systems that are much worse than Russian ones, such as the S-400 and others.
Patriot systems (USA) or cheaper and more mobile NASAMS systems (Norway) would be the most effective for the effective protection of Ukrainian airspace. However, in addition, Ukraine would not abandon the Soviet systems S-300, Buk-M1, which are also now effective in combating the enemy.
We do need WEAPONS to protect ourselves and Europe. Ask your governmets to support Ukraine with weapons, help us protect the Europe from russian terrorism.
I can’t understand WTF Biden is doing. Congress, from both parties, are publicly telling Biden to get off his ass and provide Ukraine what they need not what Biden thinks they need. Geez is it so hard to understand !!!!!
