“Zero chances” - in Kyiv they admitted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have nothing to oppose the Iskanders
Russia will use Iskanders only in a full-scale conflict, primarily against the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which have nothing to oppose to Russian missiles other than the Soviet S-300V1 missile defense system.
Ukrainian military expert, head of the Ukrainian Military Portal Taras Chmut stated this on the YouTube channel “Militaristic Portal,” PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I believe that this is a modern, good weapon (“Iskander” - ed.), which we are not able to resist. But I don't think this is the best missile system in the world. This is a weapon that poses a great threat to Ukraine, primarily for the armed forces, because this weapon will work, first of all, against the armed forces. Unfortunately, we have nothing to intercept it with...
If we are talking about the use of Iskanders, then we are talking about a full-scale conflict. If we are talking about such a conflict, then Russia will use weapons from all over its territory to participate in it. Therefore, it does not matter where the permanent deployment points are located; when necessary, they will be located along the entire border line and in Crimea,” the expert said.
“Is it possible for the S-300B1 complex (Soviet air defense system in service with Ukraine - ed.) to shoot down an Iskander?” – quoted the leading question from the viewer.
“Theoretically, yes, in practice, no one knows,” Chmut answered.
“But we don’t have so many S300B1s and they won’t be able to cover all our needs, even if they shot them down,” added the Kiev specialist.
