Yuriy Ignat, spokesman for Ukrainian air force, makes a coded call to the West: Russia is making a joke of our (your) air defenses!
Russia's Onyx missiles apparently fly too fast and low for Ukraine's air defense systems to sense and react to them.
Yuriy Ignat:
Ukrainian air defense cannot shoot down Onyx missiles, Spokesman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced this to the Ukrainian media.
According to him, the Russian Onyx missiles, which are used to strike Odessa, fly fast (at a speed of more than 3,000 kilometers per hour) and go low on the target.On approach, they can descend to 10-15 meters above the water.
For this reason, it is difficult for air defense to detect and shoot them down.
