Major General Mykola Zhirnov said, however, that 'as long as the enemy has missile and air weapons, there will still be a threat of air and missile strikes.'
A Ukrainian general said that his nation's air defense forces are able to shoot down 50 to 70 percent of Russian missiles in an interview published on Saturday.
Major General Mykola Zhirnov, leader of the Kyiv City Military Administration, was asked by a correspondent for the Ukrainian publication ArmyInform if the capital city is"reliably protected by anti-aircraft defense," and"will no longer be threatened by rocket attacks." "As long as the enemy has missile and air weapons, there will still be a threat of air and missile strikes," Zhirnov responded, according to a translation of the interview. However, the general added that 50 to 70 percent of Russian missiles are shot down"by aircraft and by anti-aircraft missile units."
"But, unfortunately, today we cannot ensure 100% effectiveness of air defense operations, this is due to objective reasons—insufficient number of reconnaissance means, aviation and anti-aircraft missile systems. Basically, these are Soviet systems, which do not have the same efficiency and reliability as the air defense equipment ofAbove, a Ukrainian soldier sits next to an anti-aircraft missile while resting in Eastern Ukraine on April 28.
