The Russian Federation hit Odessa with an armor -piercing "Iskander" missile: what does it mean - the observer
Missiles capable of punching one meter of reinforced concrete, covered with three meters of soil, can still reach the Ukrainian South without restrictions. Alexander Kovalenko explained on the page of Facebook about what the shelling of Odessa on March 15, from which 14 Ukrainians were killed, the military-political observer of the "Information Resistance". Kovalenko explained that the "Iskander" is evidenced by the wreckage scattered on the site of a hit in Odessa.
Photos and videos can see fragments of combat part designed to punch concrete. This part, according to him, is based on Betab-500 (this is a concrete bomb of free fall, which can punch four meters of coating-1 m of concrete and 3 m of land). The observer reminded that Odesa is not the first time suffering from Russian ballistic and hypersonic missiles. For example, one of these shells on July 23, 2023 damaged the Church of the UOC -MP, built near the port.
However, since then, the region has not received air defense complexes that would reflect the air attacks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. "Once again, the issue of air defense in Odessa is relevant. In Russia, as it was, and it remains the opportunity to make this component of blows in Odessa without interruption. " Italian partners of Ukraine in the summer, when the church was injured, they stated that they would allocate funds for its rebuilding, - Kovalenko reminded.
Instead of repair costs, it would be better if Italy provided the Armed Forces of the SAMP/T anti-aircraft missile complex, which is able to knock down "Isanders". "Instead of restoring this ROCVVU cloaca, italy would better send these funds for the purchase of SAMP/t for Odessa. But no . . . " Let's say, earlier, Focus wrote about the provision of the Armed Forces of the French-Italian SAMP/T-the arrival In June 2023, the air forces showed staff in the fall.
In addition, SCRs, ballistic missiles can knock down Patriot. According to government officials, the Armed Forces have two batteries (from the US and Germany), and five more expect to be received by the end of 2024. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation hit Odessa for about 11 hours. March 15 - the Armed Forces point was not reported. There were two shelling - the second rocket flew at the moment when rescuers arrived at the scene.

Subsequently, it became known that among the dead - the expirer of the mayor of Odessa and the expirer of the Chief of the National Police. We remind that in March the media published the words of French President Emmanuel Macron, who declared the introduction of the French military into the territory of the Odessa region.
