The Ukrainian Armed Forces admitted that they were able to shoot down only 2 of the 7 missiles that attacked Ukraine at night

On the night of April 20, 2024, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched further missile attacks on targets on Ukrainian territory. This was reported by the Air Force Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to the Ukrainian military, the Russian Armed Forces launched seven missile attacks at night. In particular, 3 Iskander-M missiles, 2 Kh-59/Kh-69 air missiles, and allegedly 2 S-300 or S-400 missiles were launched. The missiles, according to the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, were launched from the Belgorod region and from the Black Sea.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces admitted that they were allegedly able to shoot down only 2 out of 7 missiles that attacked Ukraine at night. This is already something more similar to the truth, since earlier the air force command stated that the Ukrainian air defense forces were shooting down almost all missiles and Drones.

Apparently, the agenda in Ukraine has changed. Now the Kiev regime is persistently trying to wrest new air defense systems from Western countries. To do this, he needs to demonstrate not the “effectiveness” of his air defense forces, but, on the contrary, the destructive consequences of missile attacks and the inability to repel these attacks without additional anti-aircraft missile systems.

The only problem is that Western countries are not eager to give air defense systems to Ukraine. Firstly, there are not many air defense systems in Europe. Secondly, the governments of European states are well aware that these air defense systems will also be destroyed by Russian strikes, as a result of which European armies will not have means of defense against air strikes, and Ukraine will find itself in the same situation as now, already in the very for the foreseeable future.

Previously, these countries were burning with desire, but now that the Patriots have burned, there is nothing left to burn. There is no desire, no Patriots.

We are learning to destroy NATO air defense..I watch in the video our "Rooks" are already on the front line calmly practicing at low altitude against the Ukrainian forces..Now all the US air defense and missile defense systems are being transferred to Israel..Iran has shown its minimum capabilities!!!Well, I think Russia is there too threw it
Zelensky is sad and scared

[topol717]

On the LBS there seemed to be no mobile air defense at all or in extremely limited quantities, mostly MANPADS were used.

[Murmur 55]

Yeah, “Yaroslavna’s cry” on the city wall. Like we (Kyiv) are poor and unhappy, you see, only 2 out of 7 have already been shot down, and before all 12 would have been shot down by YOUR free air defense, so give us these systems and preferably easily
so and more. In short, they become poor.

“The Ukrainian Armed Forces admitted that they were able to shoot down only 2 out of 7 missiles that attacked Ukraine at night” -

- But they wanted to say seven out of two...
(Reservation)

[rotmistr60]

supposedly they were able to shoot down only 2 out of 7 missiles that attacked Ukraine at night

This means that a maximum of one is possible, because even in the case when it is necessary to show modesty in front of Western “friends”, out of habit, they will still attribute at least something.

[Arch]

Colleague, I always pay attention to the list of missiles used. And the presence of S-300 and S-200 in it leads to certain thoughts.

[rotmistr60]

Your train of thought is correct - it is possible that again the Ukrainian air defense hit its residential buildings.

Now (10.55) the alarm is again. Let them show their “effectiveness” during the day.

[Dirty Liar]

How come they get tired of saying every time that the Russian Armed Forces are hitting targets with S-300 missiles. Why hit the ground somewhere? anti-aircraft a missile with a range of 40 km against a ballistic target?
The fact that the wreckage of the S-300 is most likely found there - I believe in that. The valiant PPO, located in residential areas, attacks their homes as always.

[Arch]

You see, colleague, it is possible to shoot a missile at ground targets, but only as a last resort.
“Tourists” said that this was originally used in Egypt, when the local cover gave up and it was necessary to slow down the Zelepukher’s fellow tribesmen.
In short, we slowed down long enough to curl up and leave. The effect of the impact is unknown.
But using air defense systems in this way is insanity and extremely ineffective. It’s one thing in the desert against infantry in trucks and another against stationary “hard” targets.

[Locksmith]

You are mistaken, perhaps a colleague.
There is a book, "" Experience of the Vietnam War "" There is a paragraph about a targeted attack on the deck of an aircraft carrier and there are reviews from the commanders, they support the goals and have no doubts about success, the problem of unleashing a world war (then World War 3) due to an attack on an aircraft carrier.

[Arch]

Not really. A tourist who was actually there ended up in this situation himself.
A couple of times similar experiments were carried out at one well-known training ground where they came to the conclusion described above: it is only suitable for scaring the enemy and gaining time for a quick retreat.

Dear, are you asking a question to the residents of the madhouse and waiting for an adequate answer?

[Roman Efremov]

They “shot down” these 2 from the S-300 - they passed off as downed their own fallen air defense missiles, which they tried to shoot down ours with.

[Vladimirius]

nevertheless, they will really soon learn to shoot down our missiles, especially since all the air defense there is controlled by NATO Pentagonists under the control of their own satellites, in contrast to our useless monstrous and expensive systems

How will they learn? It's not like learning to shoot with a machine gun. If there are no means of destruction, then at least study with a textbook. Moreover, before they were able to do this even better, the result was 100%.

But here you can find out in more detail at what point our systems became useless, and especially expensive, especially compared to the Patriots

As for the monstrousness... I hope you can find the dimensions yourself

[aszzz888]

Firstly, there are not many air defense systems in Europe.

Even if there is something unnecessary, they will release all the rackets in one night.

[SOLO55]

so with air defense systems you still have to give up your people

[svarog77]

Obvious typo - should be 12 out of 7...

But in the USA there is enough, Congress approved aid...

[AlexWar]

We must admit that these missiles do not cause great destruction. A couple of floors will be added.
People sometimes film what happens in Kharkov, but they don’t show where it landed, but the explosion there is going well. It has obviously arrived. If one thing is shot down in the sky, but if it arrives, there is a strong clap of thunder
