In the past month, Russian missiles and kamikaze drones have killed dozens of people and damaged up to 40% of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. But the country is getting better at knocking them out of the sky
jets in Ukraine’s air force is punishing work, says Juice. “You have to be ready to go at any time, in any conditions,” says the pilot, who asked to be identified by his call sign. When the alarm sounds, Juice has only a few minutes to grab his equipment, jump into the cockpit, rev up his-29 and take off. Because the Russians often attack at night, he wears his flight suit to bed. The worst part, however, is spending hours in the sky chasing missiles or drones only for each of them to elude you.
The newly arrived weapons have made an impact, but they are too few, say Ukrainian officials. Soviet-era equipment makes up the bulk of Ukraine’s defences. “We are fighting with weapons of the last millennium against weapons that were produced two years ago,” says Mr Ignat. Ukraine’s radars have trouble tracking cruise missiles. Its1 missile launchers are devilishly tough to operate, and require a lot of manpower.
