"We have actually created a unique air defense system that does not exist anywhere in the world. We fight with old Soviet systems, using various tactical techniques. We have developed a warning system. We counter missiles thanks to air defense systems, fighter jets and MANPADS - people with man-portable air defense systems are stationed all over the country and they also have to react and intercept missiles. There are visual observation posts," Yurii Ihnat said this in an interview with the RBC-Ukraine news outlet.

He added that Ukraine's air defense needs to be strengthened with modern weapons. In the near future, Ukraine will receive heavy systems from Western partners, but this is still not enough, Ihnat said.
"What should be done? We should strengthen our air defense system with new modern means that are in our service. These are, in particular, NASAMS and IRIS-T. Unfortunately, what is to be transferred to us will not be enough. However, this will be the first step when the partners hand over heavy air defense systems of the Western model to us," Ihnat said.
