According to the report, Russia has few air defense systems capable of shooting down ballistic missiles, and to cover its entire territory, it would need over 150-200 S-400 systems. Military analyst Pavlo Narozhnyi stated this. He said that Russians have several air defense systems capable of shooting down ballistic missiles. Specifically, the S-300, S-350, S-400, and S-500. Of all these systems, only the S-400 and S-500 are currently capable of countering ballistic missiles, since the S-300 was developed quite a long time ago.
The report stated that before the war, Russia had over 50 S-400 air defense complexes, but as of today, Ukraine's Defense Forces have destroyed at least 25 of them. Moreover, most of these complexes are located in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. However, our primary targets are located on Russian territory itself, and the Russians are unlikely to relocate such complexes from the temporarily occupied territories to the Russian Federation territory. Therefore, they truly lack effective countermeasures against ballistic missiles.
The report added that Ukraine is searching worldwide to obtain at least a few Patriot systems. The Russians will face an absolutely identical situation. They have over 25 complexes capable of shooting down ballistic missiles, but they would need at least 150-200 units to cover their entire territory," he concluded. All this shows that Moscow, where decisions are made, is also under serious threat.
In addition, the Russian capital has become more vulnerable to Ukrainian drones and missiles.
