Slovak Defense Minister Robert Kaliniak said in an interview with the Standard that it will take years to develop a new air defense system to replace the Soviet-made S-300 system, which was transferred to Ukraine in 2022.
According to the minister, the previous government was unable to agree on its own replacement with the S-300 or on leasing systems from allies for at least a few years.
He also accused the past government of Slovakia of leaving the country without missile defense and combat aircraft, since the MiG-29s were also transferred to Ukraine, and the promised compensation for them of 700 million euros was never provided by the EU and the United States.
