At the same time, the spokesman of the Air Force noted that Russian ballistics do not always reach their targets.

«This applies to the «Daggers», «Iskanders», and the S-300. But it is necessary to understand that if it does not reach the target that the enemy has marked, it may end up elsewhere, so the threat does not decrease from that, it is necessary to react to any threats that are reported,» stressed Yurii Ihnat.
