General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is sad: We cannot respond like Israel to the Palestinians
Ukraine has large holes in its air defense system and is not ready to respond in the same way as, for example, Israel in the event of a massive missile attack.
The former commander of the ATO, deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, Lieutenant General Mikhail Zabrodsky, said this on air on the Pryamoy TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Are we ready to respond now the way Israel responds to Palestine?” TV presenter Valery Kalnysh asked Zabrodsky.
– No matter how sad it is to say, of course not. Because the level of technological equipment is not at all the same, the quantitative indicators are not at all the same as those that would ensure reliable air defense of the state. Unfortunately, today this is no longer a military secret. Everyone talks about it and everyone knows it. Perhaps not everyone knows the details, but indeed, there are problems in this regard. Yes, perhaps we are not as defenseless as some people think, but, let’s say, about the effectiveness that the same “Iron Dome” demonstrated, unfortunately, we can still dream and dream,” answered Zabrodsky.
Let us remind you that in recent days the situation in the Gaza Strip has sharply worsened - Palestinian military formations launched a massive missile strike across Israeli territory, managing to partially break through the Iron Dome missile defense system.
