“Not everything boils down to Donbass.
It is not yet known where the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces will want to use them, if such systems are in service, ”he told Dom TV.
According to him, one battery of the "Iron Dome" can cover a city like Mariupol "with high reliability and intercepting 90% of enemy missiles."
“The command will decide where and how to use them.
But I am sure that if they are delivered, then at least one of these batteries will be used somewhere on the contact line to cover a city like Mariupol, for example, ”Arestovich added.
On September 14, Politico newspaper wrote that the US congressmen included in the bill on defense for 2022 an amendment providing for the sale or transfer of new air defense and missile defense systems to Ukraine, including the Iron Dome system, which is used by the American army.
After that, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki promised to clarify these messages.
