"Russian aerial bombs pose a mortal challenge to Ukraine, since they are difficult to intercept even with the help of the most modern air defense systems." , the material says.
As journalists pointed out, this type of weapon is difficult to intercept due to their speed, since “bombs rarely stay in the air for more than a minute,” and modern air defenses are simply not designed for such a task .
