Don't you get warning sirens?

Of course, we have. But in most cases, they mean that "the carrier of such and such a rocket took off", or it was shelling other cities. Besides, I got used to the fact that all or almost all missiles/drones are shot down on the approach to Kyiv, on the outskirts (I live in midtown). But today there are so many hits :(((
In Israel the siren only goes off if the missile is going to hit your local area. Also you get an alert on your phone.
I heard that Ukrainians often ignore sirens because they are not sufficiently localised. An Israeli friend was in Ukraine and was quite surprised how people ignored sirens but he asked and they said, like you have, that they are usually far away.
Understandable behaviour, but risky.
Keep safe.
Agree. But the type of rockets fired at Israel is different. As far as I know.
think it is a different type of missile. this shit flies straight till it gets to the destination, it does not have a trajectory so you can't calculate where it will drop.
and when you hear the sirens every day and it is probably going at a bridge or a anti-aircraft defense 50km away you start to think they will probably not drop a 4 million dollars Tomahawk on my house. People in smaller towns ignored it after a week or two.
being a stupid 15 year old probably helped too.
Hypersonic missiles that the twat in Russia launched today travel at up to 5 miles per second. Not much use a warning siren when the c*nt launches with the intention of killing innocent civilians, in this case a children's hospital so we hear.
Slava Ukraini
Hamas fires missiles at Israeli civilians from much closer (5-50km) than Russia fires at Kiev (200-500km) so even though they are faster, warning sirens save lives by allowing people time to get to shelters.
As I have personally experienced dozens of times as Hamas has tried to kill my family.
Russia only occasionally goes after civilian targets. Hamas ALWAYS fires at civilian targets.
