Russians hit Kyiv with ballistics, so missiles were not detected and shot down, - Air Force
The air strike on Kyiv in the morning of January 14 was carried out along a ballistic trajectory.
This was stated by Air Force spokesman Yurii Ihnat, Censor.NET reports with reference to Ukrainian Pravda.
"Most likely, these are missiles that flew along a ballistic trajectory. From the north. Ballistics are not available for us to detect and shoot down," he said.
According to Ihnat, specialists will study the type of rockets used by the enemy on Saturday. But it is obvious that these were either ballistic missiles or S-300 anti-aircraft missiles flying along a ballistic trajectory.
The warning about the missile threat came late due to the lack of radar data and information from other sources.
Unfortunately, the Armed Forces do not have effective means of detecting and destroying ballistic missiles, Ihnat emphasized.
An Air Force spokesman also confirmed that a group of Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers are currently in the air, but it is not known whether they will launch missiles. Their flight is tracked.
