Ukraine is using all means to fight against Russian air strikes, and air defense forces have become the main force in intercepting incoming missiles and suicide drones. The Russian Satellite News Agency quoted a report from " Washington Post " as saying that the Ukrainian military admitted that there were problems with the Ukrainian air defense system and said that the missiles were about to be used up, and this news cannot be confirmed.

It can be confirmed that the German-aided IRIS-T air defense system has been put into air defense operations in Kiev and has shown strong interception capabilities. The air defense system , such as the NASMAS aided by the United States, the rattlesnake aided by France, the Spanish-aided Spartan-2000 and the Eagle, will also be sent to Ukraine one after another. At present, Ukrainian soldiers are being trained to operate and maintain these air defense systems.
It is worth noting that the German-aided "cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft gun showed unexpected efficiency when intercepting suicide drones. With its advantages such as high precision, it can continuously shoot down multiple suicide drones within a few minutes.
In addition, the Ukrainian Land Defense Force has also organized hundreds of air defense teams, mainly equipped with small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and large-caliber machine guns and , and is deployed to intercept suicide drones near key facilities: suicide drones fly at low altitudes and ultra-low altitudes, with a speed of only about 100 kilometers per hour, and are extremely noisy, which is easy to detect.
Type 85 anti-aircraft machine gun used by the Ukrainian army is probably also seized by the United States from Iranian arms ships. Ukrainian Air Force's MiG-29 and Su-27 have also actively participated in the interception operations of the Russian military's cruise missile and suicide drones. People have taken videos of Ukrainian fighter jets intercepting and shooting down incoming missiles and suicide drones from close range. Analysts pointed out that when intercepting such targets, Ukrainian fighters have tried not to use cannon as much as possible. The cannon is shooting at a relatively close distance. The target is hit and the debris after the explosion can easily hurt fighter . There is already an MiG-29 fighter crashed, and the engine sucked in suicide drone debris.
Ukrainian fighter jets now prefer to use R-73 infrared-guided short-range air-to-air missiles to intercept Russian cruise missiles and suicide drones. The R-73 equipped with helmet sights is not only more flexible to use, but also its seeker is likely to be more sensitive when capturing infrared signals than the seeker of the portable air defense missile such as "Sthorn". Since the war started, the Ukrainian army's R-73 air-to-air missile consumption is not large, and many NATO member states have this missile.
is only intercepted, and it is difficult to stop the Russian army from "long-range precision strike" on Ukrainian infrastructure. Western countries are trying to involve the United Nations in the investigation into "Russia's attack on Ukraine with Iranian drones." This move has aroused strong opposition from the governments of Russia and Iran, and the Russian government has been accused of threatening the United Nations. If the investigation into the wreckage of suicide drones in Ukraine is investigated, it will not only cause changes in the relationship between the Russian government and the United Nations, but may also close the Black Sea route that allows Ukraine's food exports.
US and EU etc. have already launched sanctions on Iran. Of course, given that the United States and other countries and EU are also in the military aid to Ukraine, Russia and Iran can completely sanction these countries and international organizations: do not export energy and raw materials to them, prohibit relevant personnel from these Western countries from entering Russia and Iran, freeze their assets in Russia and Iran, and prohibit any individual or entity from Russia and Iran from providing goods and services to relevant individuals and entities of these Western countries. Let’s see if the American imperialists are afraid!
