The battery, part of the 96th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade, has been utilizing Western-supplied NASAMS systems to neutralize the targets. The impressive tally highlights the critical role of Western medium-range air defense in Ukraine's ongoing conflict. However, the NASAMS system is limited in its effectiveness against ballistic missiles, which continue to pose a significant threat to Ukraine.",
