Z-propagandist Podolyaka on "omnipotence" of Russian air defenses: "We can’t shoot down F-16s. VIDEO
Russian Z-propagandist and traitor to Ukraine Yuri Podolyaka acknowledged that Russia’s S-300 and S-400 surface-to-air missile systems cannot reliably intercept Ukrainian aircraft and accused Kremlin propaganda of overstating the capabilities of Russian air defenses.
Censor.NET reports that Podolyaka complained that Ukrainian aircraft were, in his words, carrying out strikes with impunity.
"We can’t shoot down F-16s. They carry out strikes, drop glide bombs and launch cruise missiles," the propagandist said.
He explained that Ukrainian aircraft launch missiles and then fly away at low altitude, making them harder to intercept. He added that Russian forces cannot deploy radar stations near the border because they could be destroyed.
"We were convincing our own people that we had the best surface-to-air missile systems," Podolyaka acknowledged, criticizing Russian propaganda for inflating expectations about what the country’s air defenses could do.
