Ukraine: "The only way to combat this plague is to hit the aircraft"

Now31 August 2026 at 21:54

A military specialist spoke about the difficulty of combating a type of weapon in Ukraine, describing it as a "plague" that affects the country.

The specialist warned that current defense systems have difficulties stopping this type of weapon when it is already in flight.

According to the specialist, the only effective way to combat this problem is to directly hit the aircraft that launch these bombs, instead of trying to intercept the bombs themselves.

The statement comes in the context of the conflict in Ukraine, where this type of aerial attack represents a significant challenge for the country's defense forces.

According to the British newspaper Daily Telegraph, Washington would be willing to change this stance to pressure the United Kingdom into increasing its military spending. Traditionally, the United States recognizes British administration of the archipelago but does not take a position on sovereignty, a position contested by Argentina.
