“Patriot will not help Poland in the fight against Shaaeds. It won't help anyone. It is a weapon intended primarily for combating ballistic missiles. USA – their main manufacturer in the world – currently produces 50-60 such rockets for Patriot systems per month. When we are dealing with 500-800 shades a day, it is obvious that the patriot cannot be intended for controlling drones. The Patriot rocket costs $ 2-3 million, and the Shaad or Gerań drone – up to 100,000 dollars. Such things do not fight in this way – explained Zelanski during a press conference with the Finnish President Alexander Stubb in Kiev.
“Building systems such as Patriot, Samp/T or others, which are less expensive, or using the experiences we had yesterday – when the crews of aircraft used rockets worth $ 1-1.2 million – this is not the right way” – added the Ukrainian president.
According to him, only the creation of a multi -layer defense system will allow you to fight mass drones. “This is my answer to the question whether our Polish friends need our consultations. I think that no one has such a system today. We only have it and Russians” – he noted.
– We are open and ready. Donald Tusk said he would send his military to Ukraine. I contacted them with our defense minister and the commander of Oleksander Syrski, who is today in contact with the Polish commander, “said the President of Ukraine.
In addition, he added that the order from Kiev drones capturing Ukrainian production will also not help in the fight against drones from Russia, because every two or three months the technical settings of unmanned unmanned and electronic combat systems change on both sides of the conflict.
On Thursday, the Reuters agency reported behind the sources familiar with the matter that Polish military men would visit Ukraine to train their unmanned aerian people. The reports on this subject came the day after on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, during Russia's attack on Ukraine, the Polish airspace was repeatedly violated by Russian drones. The operational command of the types of armed forces called the attack “act of aggression”, which created a real threat to the safety of citizens.
