Israel will not supply Ukraine with air defense despite recent shelling - The Washington Post

Journalists write that Israel has refused to supply Ukraine with its air defense systems, although, according to Kiev, they could help protect cities from Grads and other small missiles. Many experts say that the Israeli Iron Dome Air Defense System, which has 90 percent efficiency against missiles, could help Ukraine to reflect from Russian missile attacks. However, Kyiv will not receive it because Jerusalem seeks to maintain strategic relations with Russia in Syria and other hot spots.

About it writes The Washington Post. It is reported that the Ministry of Defense and Foreign Affairs of Israel, as well as the Office of the Prime Minister of the country, refused to comment on the ancient requests of Ukraine and its supporters to grant or sell an "iron bath". According to Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko, Israel has extensive experience in the field of air defense and the use of an "iron bath". "We need the same system in our city," he said.

The material states that the Iron Dome uses cross -ripples with radar to knock down the hostile missiles in the sky. According to military experts in Israel and Washington, the Iron Dome is not intended to intercept the large -controlled missiles used by Russia. But Ukrainians say that the network can help protect residents from Grads and other smaller missiles.

It is reported that the recent blows that Russia had struck on October 10 in the morning of Ukraine put forward Ukraine's air defense on the first place on the agenda at meetings of NATO Defense Ministers. According to them, a blanket of systems aimed at different types of weapons provided by several countries will be required to reflect Russian blows.

The US officials did not immediately respond to the request of journalists to comment on the position of Israel on the "Iron bath" and whether they agreed to the transfer. The system was developed with Washington's financial support, and both governments are vetoed for proposals for its sharing. The assistant to the Congressman, acquainted with this issue, said that the administration apparently did not directly asked Israel to change its position.

"Ukraine turned to Israel, and Israel refused to supply," the assistant said. Earlier, Focus reported that Ukraine can receive integrated anti -categorical protection. The US military stated that the Allies should provide Ukraine with different air defense systems to create one network to reliable priority protection. We will also remind that the Armed Forces were captured by the first Russian woman-serviceman.

During the interrogation, the woman told that she has been on the territory of Ukraine since August. According to her, she serves as a physician. It was also reported that NATO Secretary General said that he was waiting for the Russian Federation in the case of nuclear weapons.
