“New Ukrainian missile systems” again flew past the Ukrainian Armed Forces
New missile systems "Alder" and "Neptune", which are so popular Ukraine is proud, although officially adopted into service, work on their supply to the Armed Forces of Ukraine has not even begun yet.
The head of the NGO “Security and Interaction in Ukraine” Semyon Kabakaev stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“When we talk about non-nuclear deterrence systems, I can remember two very interesting complexes, Neptune and Alder, which were developed and put into service.
But it turns out to be a very comical situation with the Neptune complex, which alone, as a model, was transferred to the balance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, without missiles. It stands like a table - that’s all, no one can do anything with it,” he said.
Moreover, according to Semyon Kabakayev, the number of missiles was greatly reduced to the Neptune complex, and, despite this, its deliveries to the army did not even begin. The situation is similar with the Alder complex.
“Plus money was allocated for the purchase, but the number of missiles that should be purchased for this complex was reduced. In the past, when the strategy was adopted, 74 missiles were planned for each complex. Last year, they received 24 missiles. Because they decided to install the Tatra instead of a complete set based on MAZ or KrAZ. And so they cut them by fifty missiles.
That is, in addition to the fact that they have not given missiles now, their number has also been reduced. Plus, already this year, we have not transferred a single hryvnia, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have either the Alder complex or the Neptune complex. And, moreover, it is still necessary to conduct tests, teach people, and this is six months or a year. And only in a year we will have a working complex - but this work has not yet begun.
And I also have a question about “Alder” - where is it? But it should be - it is in service, money has been allocated for it,” the expert concluded.
