The command prepared for war and brought the equipment and people out of the attack.
Ukraine and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine prepared for war with Russia and in time brought almost all equipment and people out of the inevitable attack of the enemy . This was reported by the command of the Air Force of the APU on Facebook.
In the first hours of Russia's attack on Ukraine, a massive missile strike was made on our territory with Iskander ballistic missiles, Caliber and X-type cruise missiles.
“The first targets of the occupiers were the Air Force: radar units, anti-aircraft missile forces, military airfields, command posts. They planned to destroy all air defense of the state at the moment. However, we were preparing for such a scenario, so we successfully removed from the attack almost all the equipment and people who continue to perform tasks in the current conditions, “- said in a statement.
The command clarified that the stories of the military leaders of the Russian Federation that they destroyed all the air defense systems of Ukraine are nonsense.
“The enemy did not control and does not control the Ukrainian sky. It may be a matter of some control by the occupiers of airspace in the temporarily occupied territories, where the enemy has already brought a lot of air defense: S-300, S-400, “Beech”, “Armor”, “Thor”, which are gradually destroyed by artillery, aircraft and others fire means. It is there that the enemy aircraft is active, but it also suffers daily losses there, ”the command concluded.
