Ministry of Defence of Ukraine
The Air Drive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine want to draw consideration to incorrect info revealed in lots of Ukrainian and international media concerning the scenario within the skies of Ukraine and the help of Ukraine by our allies.
Whereas the Ukrainian persons are defending their nation from Russian aggression, we ask journalists of all international locations to watch out and to not help the Russian military by spreading inaccurate info.
️ Fantasy: Ukraine’s success on the bottom is sufficient to win the struggle.
Reality: Air superiority is the decisive issue on this struggle.
Airspace management has performed a vital function in all wars since World Struggle II. Dominance within the air is a fast and correct strike on enemy troops, logistics facilities, and different important amenities and compelling hearth help of its floor and naval forces.
️ Fantasy: The Ukrainian Air Drive has weapons to defend the nation from Russia successfully.
Reality: Russian air protection techniques are considerably superior to Ukrainian ones and entry extra trendy radars and missile applied sciences.
At current, the Air Drive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can not fully cowl the skies over Ukraine and achieve a bonus over Russia within the air. Russian Aerospace Forces considerably outnumber Ukrainian plane in quantity and superior applied sciences. As a result of this imbalance between the Russian and Ukrainian army forces, the Air Drive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine urgently requested Western companions to supply extra trendy fighters and air protection tools from the very starting of the struggle. The Air Drive can also be struggling losses. Russian troops are destroying increasingly tools or breaking down throughout operations. This want is changing into extra pressing.
️ Fantasy: “Stingers” or different Man-portable air-defense techniques compensate for the dearth of kit of the Air Drive of Ukraine.
Reality: For a profitable confrontation within the sky of Russian plane (together with cruise missiles), Ukraine wants each fighters and anti-aircraft missile techniques of medium and long-range.
Transportable air protection techniques, such because the Stinger, have a restricted vary (as much as 5 km) and performance and can’t compensate for the dearth of contemporary fighters and anti-aircraft missile techniques of medium and long-range. Kamikaze drones are designed to hit floor targets and in addition can not stand up to Russian planes and missiles.
️ Fantasy: The US and NATO present Ukraine with all the mandatory weapons. The Allies are doing all the pieces attainable besides collaborating within the struggle.
Reality: Up to now, our allies didn’t meet our wants for air protection (fighters and anti-aircraft missile techniques).
We now have not obtained the weapons we have to defend our skies and win, apart from the short-range transportable anti-aircraft missile techniques now we have already supplied. Fighters are most wanted within the sky. Given the circumstances, the Air Drive had sufficient F-15 and F-16 technology 4+, on which Ukrainian pilots will be capable of fly after 2-3 weeks of coaching. Not like Soviet MiG-29s, these fighters are geared up with one of the best know-how utilized by the enemy, together with trendy radars and missiles.
Floor-based air protection techniques will be capable of forestall airstrikes and missile strikes. Russia has fired greater than 1,000 ballistic and cruise missiles and dropped a whole bunch of tons of unguided bombs on Ukrainian cities and villages. Most of them might be intercepted if the Ukrainian sky was protected by the mandatory variety of trendy air protection techniques.
At present, Ukraine has at its disposal S-300 long-range anti-aircraft missile techniques (SA-10) and Buk-M1 medium-range missile protection techniques. Nonetheless, these are outdated Soviet-era techniques which are a lot worse than Russian ones, such because the S-400 and others.
Patriot techniques (USA) or cheaper and extra cell NASAMS techniques (Norway) could be the simplest for the enough safety of Ukrainian airspace.
Nonetheless, the Armed Forces of Ukraine could be happy with the Soviet Programs S-300, Buk-M1, that are additionally now efficient in combating the enemy.

Principals of Melitopol faculties refused to cooperate with the enemy, so everybody wrote functions for dismissal.
Consequently, the self-proclaimed mayor of Melitopol, Halyna Danilchenko, ordered the Russian army to expel disobedient college directors from town.
Final night time, the occupiers got here to the houses of three administrators, Angelina Kovalenko, Olena Galatsan and Lyudmila Chugai, and drove them in an unknown course.
By these actions, Russian militants grossly violate Articles 3 and 34 of the Geneva Conference relative to the Safety of Civilian Individuals in Time of Struggle, Article 9 of the Worldwide Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Article 5 of the European Conference on Human Rights.
