Ukrainian intelligence revealed the details.
Russia is trying to build a unified air defense system in order to protect military-industrial and fuel and energy complex facilities from Ukrainian long-range strikes, which regularly hit targets on the territory of the aggressor state.
As said a spokesman for the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate Andrey Yusov in a telethon broadcast, we are talking about both Soviet complexes and modern systems.
According to him, the Russians are trying to "patch holes in their air defense" by combining obsolete Soviet samples with equipment that they claim to be the latest.
"We are talking about both Soviet complexes and modern ones - the enemy is trying to combine them into one system. These are both outdated S-300 and newer S-400, as well as the so-called newest S-350 Vityaz system," explained Andrei Yusov.
The GUR representative noted that Russia is actually creating a hybrid air defense system, where old and relatively new SAMs are combined into a single architecture. The heterogeneity of the systems makes it difficult for them to work together and makes the network vulnerable to modern electronic warfare and drone attacks.
Yusov added that air defense systems are deployed in all major Russian cities, as well as around industrial and energy facilities of strategic value. However, despite all these measures, Ukraine continues to launch sensitive strikes against strategically important enemy facilities on an almost daily basis.
"A key indicator is how many Ukrainian drones reach targets and inflict defeats. According to various estimates, the reduction in refining of oil products in the Russian Federation ranges from 18% to 20% - these are extremely large numbers," Yusov emphasized.
