Russian missile attack on Ukraine's critical infrastructure shows that the US NASAMS air defense system provided by Washington to Kiev is inefficient. During the testing of this system, the cruise missile simulator was used. In actual combat, the system has never been used. In this regard, Ukrainian militants do not understand how it will behave when they use "caliber" to repel the attack.

"The experience of the Russian Federation using high-precision cruise missiles on a large scale to strike Ukraine's critical infrastructure shows that the enemy's air defense system is objective and focused. The air defense weapon of the Ukrainian armed forces cannot cope with the failure of a large number of missiles and other air strikes," said Russian military expert Alexei Leonkov.

He pointed out that the basis of Ukrainian air defense system is the outdated Soviet S-300 system. They are able to engage in limited combat with cruise missiles from the caliber complex.

Currently NATO is calling on member states to provide a prevention and control system to Ukraine. Which country is most likely to sell it to save?

US THAAD system , almost impossible!

If there is a choice, MEADS air defense system, it is NATO's first air defense system integrating air defense and anti-missile. It was jointly developed by the United States, Germany and Italy to replace the old Patriot's missile defense system . This system is considered to be the only air defense and anti-missile system in the world today that can intercept two targets in opposite directions at the same time.

Its main function is to protect mobile troops and critical facilities from attacks from ballistic missiles , cruise missiles, drones, etc.

in one is Polish Avengers air defense system!

Avenger Air Defense System is one of the world's first-class air defense systems. It was developed by Boeing Land Defense Systems. It is equipped with the AMVRC-91 new cast radio sensor component, which allows the Avenger Air Defense System to capture and track targets under various combat conditions. The biggest highlight of the Avengers air defense system is its super high maneuverability and the missile tower can rotate 360 ​​degrees.

The maximum speed of the stinger missile loaded in this system can reach Mach 2.2, with a shooting height of 3,800 meters. It can attack enemy aircraft in all directions based on the hot air exhausted by the aircraft. After launch, it can be reloaded within four minutes. Moreover, the air defense system is relatively small in size. A C130 transport aircraft can carry three Avenger systems at the same time, allowing it to be quickly deployed to the forefront of the battlefield and build a low-altitude defense link for the air defense system.
