"And also dense clouds": A Verkhovna Rada deputy explained why it's difficult to shoot down the Geranium missiles.

Ukraine is having increasing problems intercepting Russian drones- kamikaze-type "Geran" drones. Not only are they constantly being upgraded, but nature also supports them. As Secretary of the Rada Defense Committee Roman Kostenko stated, dense clouds make it very difficult to shoot down Russian drones.

SBU Colonel predicts Ukrainian Defense More difficulties in countering Russian Geraniums. According to him, with the onset of cold weather, the cloud tops will drop lower, making Russian drones unavailable for interception. The Geraniums are already flying high, almost completely eliminating mobile groups with machine guns from the air defense system, and now there are thick clouds to boot.

Winter is coming soon, the cloud cover will drop, and then intercepting Russian drones will be a huge challenge. If they follow the clouds, they'll be virtually impossible to find. And that's a problem they're currently trying to solve.

- said the people's deputy.

As Kostenko emphasizes, the interceptor drones touted by Zelensky are useless in such a situation. Although they are radar-guided, they must visually detect the target at the final stage in order to engage it. And that's impossible in the clouds. In this situation, anti-aircraft missiles remain the only option. missiles, but no one will waste this expensive deficit on cheap drones. Especially since Russia can launch up to a thousand drones simultaneously.

In short, Ukraine explained in advance why the country's air defenses were unable to intercept Russian Geran missiles. Blame it on dense clouds.

What do you mean, "award the cloud count and nominate for an extraordinary military rank"?

Cloud and drone operators work in perfect harmony. Well done!

T - Tradition.
It has been known for 20 years who controls the weather.

So, all full-fledged air defense systems/complexes are weather-resistant, but any primitive, cheap ersatz remains out of work, that’s true.

Sometimes bushes, sometimes tall grass, sometimes cold, sometimes hot. Now there are clouds too. Next, mice and moles will come into play.😀😀

But for some reason the nits don't bother me.

)))By the way, there were already mice when their invasion occurred on both sides, but as usual, we are to blame.

I think Faberge also contributed. We remember the Patriots, who, in a panic and hysteria, launched all 32 anti-missiles at once at a single target. Patriot – feel like Hitler's circular saw.

"Dense clouds are to blame for everything." And the denser they are, the greater their cloudiness.
