Ukraine has air defense systems capable of shooting down Iranian Fateh-110 and Zolfagar ballistic missiles with a range of 300 and 600 km, respectively, but needs more of them to counter a large number of missiles.

Ukraine has air defense systems that can shoot down Iranian ballistic missiles. We need more of these systems. However, the information that Iran is going to transfer its ballistic missiles has not yet been confirmed. This information was voiced on the air of the national telethon by the spokesman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ilya Yevlash, UNN reports .

According to him, we are talking about Iranian ballistic missiles with a range of 300 and 600 kilometers.

We cannot rule out this possibility either. We are talking about Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar missiles with a range of 300 and 600 kilometers, respectively. These are ballistic missiles. Ballistic missiles are a rather difficult weapon to shoot down because they fly like a stone that has been thrown. It is not easy to deal with them, but we have means that have already demonstrated their success. However, of course, we need more systems to deal with a large number of missiles, including ballistic missiles,

- Yevlash noted.

He added that the best means of countering Iranian missiles, if they are used by Russia to strike Ukraine, would be the Patriot air defense system.

Optional

This may be another case when Russia will strike Ukraine using missiles from friendly states. At the beginning of this year, Russia launched strikes against Ukraine with missiles made in the DPRK.

We can confirm several cases of Russian use of North Korean missiles. On February 14, Russia struck Ukraine with at least six such missiles. North Korean KN-23 ballistic missiles have their own specifics and features, including flying faster than Russian ones. But in general, they are almost the same as the Iskander-M. We found a part of such a North Korean missile after the attack on Kyiv on January 2 on Mokra Street (formerly Kudriashova Street) in Solomianskyi district, where a nine-story building was damaged and four people were killed,

- Oleksandr Ruvin, Director of Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise, said earlier.
