After the end of the war, the Ukrainian SAM operators will be hunted, let me explain why.

Ukraine now has the best air defense in the world, the best in a number of ways.

Ukrainian specialists have the most extensive experience in reflecting

unified, combined and wave-shaped attacks in real combat conditions.

No army in the world has such experienced air defense personnel

who not only have experience of repulsion of missile attacks, but for more than a

year did it by means technically and technologically backward from modern

challenges of war and significantly inferior to enemy's means of defeat.

Literally on the eve of the war there was a panic wave in the information space.

It concerned the topic of Ukrainian air defense and its readiness to repel the Russian threat.

There was a need to get Patriot SAMs, "Iron Dome" and other highly technical

and high-tech systems of foreign air defense and missile defense.

But at that time Ukraine had the most combat-ready air defense system

in Europe, if you compare it to each country individually, not within the framework of NATO.

At that moment, before the war, there was not a single European

country that was comparable to the Ukrainian air defense in potential.

But despite the quantitative potential and echelon, it consisted mostly of morally and

technically obsolete samples from the Soviet era.

After three days of full-scale invasion, the Russian Defense Ministry announced

that the Ukrainian air defense system had been completely destroyed and that

Russian Aerospace Forces fully controlled Ukrainian airspace.

It is early summer 2023. The Russian Aerospace Forces have suffered tremendous losses, both in

combat aviation and pilots. Russian pilots refuse to fly on combat missions to Ukraine, it is doing

cadets, and on the territory of Ukraine are mainly inflicted by air strikes from Russian airspace.

The Ukrainian Air Defense Forces did a Herculean job of maintaining control

of the airspace. They developed unique algorithms for countering

all types of Russian missiles and Iranian Shahed-136 before they received the full

range of high-tech equipment such as the Patriot and SAMP-T air defense systems.

The vulnerabilities of each of these missiles have been studied and counteraction methods have been

worked out, the reaction to each type of launch and the use of certain means of destruction that

are most effective. But this has become possible not only thanks to modern air defense systems.

Saudi Arabia has one of the best air defense systems in the Middle East. The Saudi army has

more than 100 Patriot SAMs in service. In turn, during the confrontation with the Yemeni Hoosiers,

the missiles launched on the territory of Saudi Arabia were not always intercepted.

That is, the availability of high-tech air defense equipment is not a guarantee of complete

protection, and both the professionalism of operators and the general approach to the

construction of echelons decide a lot. Therefore, a real hunt will begin for Ukrainian air defense

operators after the end of the war. Their skills will be sought to be re-bought.

Now it is safe to say that Kyiv and the region now have an exemplary echelon construction,

which demonstrates the highest efficiency of countering missile and drone threats.

Now we can confidently say that now in Kiev and

the region exemplary formation of the echelon, which demonstrates

the highest index of effectiveness of countering missile and drone threats.

Deliveries by partners of short, medium and long-range systems do not stop. Step by step,

but the skies over Ukraine will be completely closed from Russian threats.

And not just the skies over Ukraine.
