The missiles removed from Belarus by Russian terrorist troops can be used for extra attacks against borderline areas of Ukraine, as Yurii Ihnat, the Spokesman of the AFU Air Force Command, said during the national telethon.
According to him, the Russians use Buk M1, M2, M3, Tor, Pantsir, S-300 and S-400 systems. The invaders "saturate the temporarily seized territories with these systems to threaten the Air Force of the AFU.
However, the S-300 missiles, initially fired against Ukraine occasionally and used for massive large-scale strikes, are considered obsolete in Russia.
"We know what Russia is doing with the S-300 missiles. These are surface-to-air missiles that are designed to hit air targets...," Ihnat said.
According to the Spokesman, all of the above-mentioned missiles used by Russian forces to bomb Ukraine are terrorist in their nature, because they are equipped with metal elements that scatter upon detonation to injure more people.
As Ihnat explains, in order for such missile to be efficiently shot down, it needs to be launched from a distance of at least 100 kilometers, but they are deployed in a temporarily seized territories which are much closer.
"If these missiles were deployed 100-150 kilometers away, it would be possible to calculate the trajectory of impact, but if it is 40 kilometers away, there is no accuracy. So these missiles are flying at peaceful infrastructure. That's why Belarus transfers these missiles to Russia, because they want to bombard the frontline cities more intensively," Ihnat explained.
