MOSCOW, June 13 The air defense system of the Russian Federation is set up for large vehicles, but the drones are small, we need to get things done and make the necessary decisions, this is possible, the president said Russian Vladimir Putin.
At a meeting with war correspondents on Tuesday, the head of state said that «we had a situation when, unfortunately, these drones flew into the territory of Khmeimim, they threw several grenades — and we had losses among the personnel there.» However, according to him, «quite quickly we learned how to deal with them», it is «sometimes not easy, but a solvable task», including in the case of drone attacks in Russia.
«It's the same thing here: our respective structures need to make the necessary decisions, because the traditional air defense system, you know for sure, is also tuned for large missiles, for aircraft, and as a rule, the drones you are talking about are made of modern lightweight materials. are made of wood, it is quite difficult to detect them,» Putin said.
He noted that work in this direction is underway and will be done. “As for Moscow and other major centers, I don’t even have any doubts about it. But this work must be organized accordingly.
