What complexes are capable of shooting down Iranian ballistic missiles Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar, which Russia can use against Ukraine?..

Back in November, the head of the Russian Federation Kyrylo Budanov spoke about the agreement between the Russian Federation and Iran regarding missiles.

At the same time, the spokesman of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat noted that Ukraine would not be able to counter them effectively.

"Unfortunately, we don't have an effective defense against ballistic missiles. It's ballistics, it actually flies from space, flies down at a huge speed. It's actually impossible to shoot them down, but it's possible to counter it," Ignat said.

According to him, it is best to destroy these missiles where the Russians will store them.

"The best countermeasure is to destroy the missiles from where they are launched, i.e. we are talking about a range of 300 and 700 kilometers. But no one canceled the "cotton", - noted Ignat.

According to Reuters, citing an Iranian diplomat, the countries have agreed to supply Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar surface-to-surface ballistic missiles.

Western officials confirmed this information.

At the same time, the spokesman of the command of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat commented on the situation with countering ballistic missiles.

According to him, the powerful SAMP-T air defense system and Patriot systems are effective against ballistic missiles.

However, he expressed doubts about the supply of these systems.

"Ukraine will not have as many Patriots as Russia can have these missiles... We can only close certain areas of the Patriot, certain objects," Ignat said.

In addition, military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko previously expressed the opinion that Western partners can provide SAMP-T to Ukraine in the first quarter of 2023.

At the same time, Germany refused to transfer Patriot systems to Ukraine.
