Russian air defense systems may not cope with the Ukrainian FP-9 missile, - expert

An aviation expert, Konstantin Krevolap, stated during an interview with 'Factory of News' that Russian air defense systems such as S-300 and S-400 may struggle to intercept Ukrainian ballistic missiles like the FP-9. He estimated the probability of successful interception at no more than 30%. The expert emphasized that even if Ukraine has not yet deployed the FP-9 missile, Russia should prepare for its potential use soon. According to Krevolap, Russian radar systems lack the precision needed for kinetic interception of hypersonic ballistic missiles, meaning any attempt to destroy them would likely involve detonating them at a distance, which offers limited effectiveness. He also suggested that a sufficient number of these missiles could potentially cripple Russia's military-industrial complex within a short period.
