Russia used Iskander-K missiles to strike Ukraine this night , which are difficult to detect and shoot down.
This was stated by the speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat on the air of the telethon.
According to him, this cruise missile has the same tactical and technical characteristics as the Kalibr, and due to its low flight altitude, it is difficult to shoot it down.
“According to updated information, … Iskander-K missiles were flying from the south direction. This is also a cruise missile, which, in principle, has the same performance characteristics as Caliber, but Iskander-K is a missile ground-based, not ballistic, but cruise. It is this missile that flies very low, and that is the problem of detecting it and also shooting it down. But such missiles were shot down by our air defense,” Ignat said.
It should be noted that the Ministry of Internal Affairs previously reported that another Russian missile, Kh-101, hit Uman .
Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny also reported on the use of Kh-555 missiles . According to him, the blow was delivered by Tu-95 bombers from the Caspian Sea.
