Destroy goals to take off: how to prevent the exhaustion of Ukrainian air defense - experts
After the next massive attack, including Shakhaneda, December 29, 2023, military specialist in communication and radio electronic wrestling Sergei Flash Beskrestnov noted that Russian UAVs were trying to deplete the air defense and recommended that Ukrainians install the ERRO program on the telephone About drones. "They are flying below, they are increasingly cunning, and they will soon cry our missile air defense soon," he wrote.
The expert added that if the defense forces are depleting their capabilities, the whole country will feel tremendous consequences. In the morning, January 2, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation actually repeated the massive attack on December 29. 35 "Shahanediv", 99 missiles of various types were released on the territory -300/C-400. The objectives of the attack were civil and critical infrastructure, as well as industrial and military facilities.
According to the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny, the air defense forces were shot down by all "Shahda" and 72 rockets of various types. The head noted that if the rockets struck their goals, "the consequences would be catastrophic. " The Russians often choose a similar tactic - they run the dozens of "shamed" to demand the air defense, after which they attack rockets, says focus a military expert Pavel Narozhny.
"There were rumors that theoretically," Shahda "can change the trajectory after departure. This confirmed the case where the mobile modem was discovered inside the whipped UAV. But I do not believe that this method works steadily. In any case "It's a cheap ammunition. It can dine aircraft. And when it comes time to reload the shells, the Russians shoot with winged or ballistic missiles," the expert explains.
The Deputy Director of the Army, Conversion and Disarmament Center, Michael Samus, adds that Shakhda is always launched by difficult trajectories to find out where the Ukrainian air defense is located. "All this happens from the first day of use of UAV. With the help of" Shahmed "determine where the air defense system, anti-aircraft missile complexes, mobile groups. Then try to beat" daggers "and winged missiles," the expert notes.
In the spring of 2023, a spokesman for the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Yuri Ignat said that since the beginning of the full -scale war of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, about 20 hypersonic missiles "Dagious" have been released across Ukraine. This type of weapons in the Russians is not enough, since the production of high -tech missiles requires a lot of money and time.
According to the reserve colonel, the expection of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev, the cost of the "dagger" rocket starts from $ 10 million. For this reason, the Russian Federation rarely triggers them in the territory of Ukraine, choosing the most priority goals. According to the expert, they may be anti -aircraft missile complexes of Patriot, which protect the sky over the territory of Kiev and the region.
According to GUR estimates, the Russians produce several units of "daggers". Since from August to December 2023, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation did not use this type of weapons, the current volleys were the result of the fact that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has been accumulated since the summer. "This is the second massive attack for the winter. It is not necessary to relax because it is not the last. On Friday, the frost is promised. In Kiev -from -8 degrees.
If on the street it will be cold, there will be a shortage of electricity on the network. Therefore I am more than sure, I am more than sure targeted, in particular in energy structure, " - continues the Narozhny. In order for the Russians not to deplete the Ukrainian Shakhaned Ukrainian air defense, it is necessary to work ahead, experts say. Namely attacking UAVs and missiles in the Russian Federation, as well as ammunition depots. "I can draw an analogy.
Our country is an" apartment "in which a bandit runs. We run behind him with a gun to kill. We can make it not fall into our territory. This requires rockets with a distance of 300 km and above to destroy the places of production, storage and start of the Shahaneda. This is the only method to prevent the exhaustion of the air defense forces.
When the enemy goes to the firing position, we have no options for running through the "apartment" and destroying it by spending the shells ", - adds the people. As a successful example of the destruction of the enemy ammunition, the expert cites an attack on the VDC "Novocherkassk" at the end of December 2023. According to one version, the ship was "shamed", according to the other - artillery shells.
Whatever it is, but, according to the expert, a powerful explosion of the ship indicates that there was a huge amount of explosive on the ship. In addition to the attack on the advance, more rockets of different types are needed to fight the enemy of Ukraine. "If we talk about air defense, it is about the number of shells. The longer the Russians continue to trade in oil and gas, earning hundreds of billions of dollars, the more rockets they produce.
Sanctions could not stop the supply of components from Western countries. And when you have a lot of money and Western components, you can produce a lot of rockets. Therefore, you need to supply more rockets that can destroy "Shahda", - summarizes Samus. Recall that on January 2 in the morning the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Masstoned Ukraine. The main purpose for the enemy was Kiev and the region.
, On January 2, more than 250,000 consumers have disappeared in five districts of the capital. Fires, as a result of explosions, broke out in Desnyanskiy, Darnytsky, Pechersk, Obolon and Podilsky districts of the capital. The Russian Federation was struck by Kharkiv, including the dagger rockets. 44 people were injured in the attack, including five children, and a woman was also killed.
