Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky officially confirmed that Ukraine is working on creating its own air defense system, as well as a missile system that could become a deterrent against the use of Oreshnik missiles.
Points of attention
- Ukraine is working on creating its own missile defense system and missile system.
- Syrsky expects to see results in the near future in the development of new military technologies.
Ukraine will not stand still
The Commander-in-Chief draws attention to the fact that the new Russian missile "Oreshnik" is "a threat, and currently only a few air defense systems can intercept it."
According to him, Ukraine does not yet have such systems, but it is going to create an air defense system that would not just be an air defense system, but an anti-missile system.
This encourages us to actively negotiate with our allies to obtain such a system. And, of course, this should encourage us to create a modern missile system that could be a deterrent against the use of such weapons by the Russians.

Journalists asked him whether the mentioned Ukrainian anti-missile and missile systems are still just theory or practice.
Work is being actively carried out in this direction. I hope that we will soon get the desired result.

Syrsky draws attention to the fact that during this year of hostilities, the enemy lost more than in the previous two years of the war.
When asked about the ratio of losses of Ukrainian and Russian forces, Syrskyi replied: "In many times, let's put it this way."
In addition, it is noted that thanks to Ukraine's powerful strikes on targets in Russia, the enemy army's ammunition consumption rates have actually halved.
