"We have no weekends": servicemen told how to protect Kiev from air attacks by the Russian Federation - WP

According to journalists, the air defense of Ukraine is a blanket of various weapons, many of which were transferred to the event. Hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers are armed with Stinger MAZRCs, many use other complex systems. Russia has repeatedly attacked the Ukrainian capital in May. It even launched hypersonic missiles from the MiG-31 fighter jets, as well as land base rockets are powerful enough to compare an apartment building with the ground. About it writes The Washington Post.

It is reported that the fight against rockets and hostile Don-Kamikadze is a constant for defenders of the sky over Kiev. Russian criminal attacks are most common at night. According to a 26-year-old soldier with a call sign "Ryaby", which is a part of the anti-aircraft missile calculation of two people, he has virtually no weekends with his partner. The publication writes that the air defense of Ukraine is a blanket from various weapons, many of which were transferred to the West.

Hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers are armed with Stinger's MAZRCs, many use other complex systems such as Patriot, NASAMS and others. Andriy Yusov, a representative of military intelligence of Ukraine, said that recent air raids on the capital were "a massive and unprecedented" attack aimed at disrupting the air defense system. Air defense means will also be crucial in the adventure of Ukraine - they will ensure the safety of troops equipped with Western equipment.

According to journalists, Ryaby and his partner 38-year-old Oleg are responsible for protecting the area of ​​the sky with an area of ​​about 10 square kilometers outside Kiev. When the alarm signal sounds, they rush from the base in the area of ​​Kiev to one of several secret fire positions to prepare the air targets. "If the air target is approaching our sector, our commander gives us the team # 1: to find and destroy," Ryabi said.

After the shot, you need to move to another position immediately, as the enemy already knows about this position. According to the military, he had to study during a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation. According to Kyiv activist Natalia Ulyanytska, she checks the information where the arrival could be. Then she takes a cat and hides in the toilet. According to her, she is not as frightened as it is angry during the next shelling of the Russians.

The woman said she knew when Russian drones and missiles arrive. This can be distinguished by the nature of the explosions. Recall that the Prime Minister of Poland has stated that Ukraine will receive new Patriot. Mateusz Moravetsky shared insider information that he learned from several foreign colleagues. He called Patriot very good air defense systems for Ukraine. Also on June 1, the Armed Forces explained why the Russian Federation uses "Isanders" for blows in Kiev.
