The speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuri Ignat, answering the question whether Iranian kamikaze drones will be shot down with the help of Patriot systems that the United States will send us, replied that this will be done only as a last resort. He announced this on the air of the telethon.

" I think that in a pinch it can be used, because today we have Iris-T and NASAMS, which also beat the Shaheda. I want to say that although the Shahed has an amazing part that is not as large as a rocket, but if it hits an important object, it will lead to more losses than we will lose the rocket,"

Ignat also added that the new air defense systems will drive enemy aircraft away from the borders of Ukraine.
