“Unpleasant Picture”: Britain modeled an attack on its own air defense for war lessons in Ukraine

< img src = "/uploads/blogs/b9/d9/d9/ib-fs23nfhqs_4999ea2a6.jpg" Alt = "& quot; unpleasant picture & quot; < P > The United Kingdom modeled the Russian attack to see the burden on its air defense if the invasion that took place in Ukraine was on the territory of Britain. Business Insider writes about it.

< p > According to Commodor Aviation Blyta Crawford, the result “was not a pleasant picture”.

< P > He said that the UK airspace training center, using the Gladiator simulation system, recreated the night of February 24 2022 in Ukraine and watched the modeled attack against the United Kingdom.

< p >Crawford did not tell the details of the simulation results, but it became clear that Britain's air defense was broken. According to him, simulation became a strict lesson. & Amp; nbsp;

< p > “We stood on the western land of Europe for years, feeling that the rest of the continent stands between us and the enemy. But Ukraine made us all sit down, and it made us reorient the part Commodor. & nbsp;

< P > Crawford noted that & nbsp; “In the last three years, the script has become much more complicated in terms of types of systems that we should be able to withstand, as well as in terms of their mass”.

This is a challenge that stands before the whole event,” – warned the military. < P > Commodor added that Ukraine is an alarming call, & nbsp; “Where two countries with very powerful integrated air defense systems have come face to face, and none of the sides reached any form of preference in the air. < p > he noted that the concept of air preference has changed significantly. & Amp; nbsp;

< P > “We are used to thinking about it as an advantage in the whole theater of combat, which can be achieved over time. Now we see that the advantage in the air goes from trenches to trenches and from zero to 50 feet (15 meters – UNIAN), not necessarily Crawford. & Amp; nbsp;

< P > Despite the fact that the attack on Britain was only simulation, the Commandor stressed that Western countries should study in lessons that are happening in Ukraine. & Amp; nbsp;
