So far, these SCRs have not been observed in combat missions, but the sooner they will be on combat duty, the sooner they will be able to drive Russian aviation from the borders of Ukraine. This was told on April 19 by a spokesman for the Air Force of Ukraine Colonel Yuri Ignat on the air of a telecommunication. "The sooner it is on the duty, the better it will be and will be able to react and do the things that have been talked about for a long time. The Complex is a long -range.
It can get targets up to 150 km away and this will drive Russian aviation from our borders as far away as possible," - Ignatus emphasized. In addition, if one of the latest Patriot Pac-3 modernization options came to Ukraine, Ukrainian defenders will be able to intercept the warheads of tactical cruise and ballistic missiles, such as "Iskander-M", up to 40 km away. "Of course, this is a strengthening and this is a historical step that takes place these days," the colonel said.
It should be noted that the head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Renznikov confirmed information that the Patriot systems had arrived in Ukraine. In his Twitter, he wrote that the Western partners resisted their words about providing such systems, and the Ukrainian military, in turn, mastered the complexes as quickly as they could. "Today, our beautiful Ukrainian sky is becoming safer because the Patriot anti-aircraft missile complexes came to Ukraine," Reznikov said.
