This was announced by the speaker of the Air Force of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat. According to him, Western air defense systems can function in conjunction with Soviet anti-aircraft missile systems. Otherwise, the partners would simply not transfer modern systems to Ukraine.

Ignat mentioned that German IRIS-T and American-Norwegian NASAMS systems have already arrived in Ukraine and are successfully used by the Air Force, being integrated into the united system of anti-aircraft defense of the country.
