Expert Roman Svitan: Echelon air defence should be scaled up to the entire frontline
To counter massive Russian air attacks, it is necessary to deploy effective echelon air defence along the entire front line. This was stated by a military expert Roman Svitan.
Example of the Third Building
According to the expert, The Third Corps under the command of Andriy Biletskyi has already created an effective frontline air defence system that:
covers not only the front line, but also peaceful cities;
capable of shoot down dozens of attack drones per night;
combines various means of destruction into a single defence system.
Svitan gave an example of when, in one night, the 33 attack drones.
What should the security system look like
The expert stressed that such defence should include:
short-range anti-aircraft missile systems;
man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS);
interceptor drones;
multi-level organisation of fire along the entire frontline.
In his opinion, this approach is the most a key way to counteract Russia's escalating air attacks.
Scaling to the entire front line
Svitan emphasised that the length of the front is about two thousand kilometres from Odesa to the border with Belarus - makes the issue of systemic air defence critical.
«Look at what has been done in the Third Corps and implement it along the entire frontline - then there will be no such trouble,» the expert said.
Context.
