In Ukraine, they said that the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau is working on the latest Kilchen anti-aircraft missile system, which is allegedly an analog of the American Patriot air defense system.
The media in Nezalezhnaya is already happily reporting that this SAM meets all NATO standards and can fight various air targets, including aircraft made using Stealth technology.
The radar station specially designed for it is capable of observing the surrounding space for 400 km. And the anti-aircraft missiles themselves can hit at 280 km.
As is usually the case in Ukraine, there is no real installation yet, but there are beautiful pictures. Interestingly, the car used is not Kremenchug KrAZ, which is now in bankruptcy, and the German MEL.
Not only Russian, but also Ukrainian experts are very skeptical about this project, the chances of its successful implementation are very small. It has repeatedly happened that the money allocated for such projects was not spent for its intended purpose. There is no guarantee that this time it will not happen again.
