There are UAVs but needed rockets: what are the arguments in favor of the Armed Forces permission to beat on the territory of the Russian Federation

Experts from the Rand Institute noted the successes of Ukraine in the development and use of unmanned systems. However, they are not enough to cause more tangible damage to the Russian Federation. Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to use innovative technologies to defeat Russian troops and facilities in Russia. However, to maintain the efficiency of Ukrainian blows in the Russian Federation, Ukraine requires more powerful means of long -lived.

In this regard, Rand Hohen and William Kornney researchers have made arguments in favor of permission from the western long -range weapons on Russian objects in deep rear. The material published on September 29 by Defense News, says that the recent visit of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House was aimed at obtaining assistance in inflicting long -distance strikes for Russia's strategic purposes.

In response, US President Joe Biden announced the supply of Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW), but Ukraine was counting on more. The Ukrainian leader has repeatedly requested permission for the use of army tactical missile missiles (ATACMS), with a range of up to 305 km and capable of affecting moving goals due to high speed. The visit of Zelensky in the states hinted at the possibility of transferring Jassm (Joint Air-To-Surface Standoff Missile).

These missiles are distinguished by their secrecy and can be effective for defending protected goals, which makes them an important complement to the weapons available in Ukraine. However, the United States is currently a restrained approach, limiting the supply of high -precision systems. Skepticism in providing Ukraine with long -range weapons is related to the fears of escalation of conflict.

Russia, for its part, regularly makes statements about the possible use of nuclear weapons in response to attacks organized by the US supported states. However, such threats are considered as unlikely in terms of military benefits, especially given the statements of international leaders, including China Chapter Xi Jinping and India Prime Minister Narendra Modi, about the inadmissibility of nuclear weapons.

Despite the indecision of the United States in providing long -range missiles, Ukraine is already demonstrating its capabilities. One example was the strike on September 18 in the weapons in the Tver region of Russia, which was located 300 miles from the border with Ukraine. This significantly exceeds the range of ATACMS missiles, which emphasizes Ukraine's success in the development and use of unmanned systems.

The significant results of Ukraine in the development of drones are also recognized at the international level. Former CIA Director David Petreus called Ukraine's innovations in this sector "unprecedented". In addition, the Ukrainian forces have begun to use high-speed missile drones, such as the "Pabalitsa", which can strike at long distances. However, for a more tangible effect from blows to the enemy, Ukrainian forces need more powerful means of damage.
