Russia’s aerospace forces commander said Moscow would rebuild and strengthen its air defenses to obstruct Finland’s NATO membership after the Ukrainian war.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24 last year in “a special military operation,” the battle has degraded into an artillery war with widespread drone and missile use, testing Russia and Ukraine’s air defenses.
Red Star reported Ukrainian strikes on air defense forces on Monday.
He said Russia has over 50 mobile radar sites, 24/7 A-50 early warning and control planes, and missile and anti-aircraft capabilities near Ukraine.
Demin said Russia had increased RLK-MC anti-drone production and deployed air defense forces to protect key installations in Russian-controlled Ukraine.
Demin promised to “enforce” the military ministry’s publication adjustments. “Military progress will improve Russia’s air defense.”
Demin said Russia would strengthen its defenses when Finland joined NATO.
“In accordance with the higher danger level, the air defense forces are working out issues of protecting the north-west state boundary,” Demin added.
