Ukraine will be able to produce ballistic missiles: 1000 km drone strike - only the beginning - Yun (video)
For example, Kharkiv has a powerful base of design bureaus that deal with this issue. A military and public figure, Major General of the SBU, National Security expert Viktor Yugan told this in an interview with Focus. These technical competencies appeared before the war, because in the example of such aircraft drones wanted to develop UAVs for agricultural purposes, says the expert. Such drones were to carry a close 300-400 kg of substances for sawing fields.
"Of course, such an opportunity to contain a healthy load was noticed by the Ukrainian military," Yugan notes. "Starting aggression, the invaders did not think that Ukraine would be able to strike in the rear of the Russian Federation, so their air defense was not ready for such drones. " According to Major General, the war has now switched to another stage and the vast majority are used drones, not rockets.
The Russians make every effort to use air defense to cover the most important objects in the Russian Federation, but will not be physically not able to equip the country with airborne means. "We have a pretty engineering base for making such weapons and I am not surprised at all, if soon a Ukrainian ballistic missile arrives in Russia," Yugan emphasizes.
"We can make missiles flying into space and the problem is to divide these The engines used for these missiles are several degrees and now launch step missiles not so far into space. " It can be said that Russia has forced us to develop similar military weapons instead of the peaceful use of missiles. Although there is a problem - there are no landfills in Ukraine where these missile technologies can be tested.
At one time, landfills in the Odessa region or Crimea were used towards the Black Sea, but we had to negotiate with our allies. Alternatively, Yang says, you can agree with Australia or New Zealand about such landfills. Although it is possible to try launches directly through the "boundless ocean of Russia", notes the expert. It should be reminded that the Pentagon stated that Ukraine strikes oil refineries in the Russian Federation exclusively on its own, without the help of the US.
