"They are difficult to intercept": The analyst appreciated the prospects of ATACMS missiles in the war with the Russian Federation (video)

Not all Russian anti-aircraft missile complexes of the Russian Federation, according to analyst Alexander Musienko, can counteract such missiles, so ATACMS is able to disorient the enemy's air defense. The American Ballistic missiles of ATACMS are difficult to intercept, so in any case they will give capacity to the Ukrainian army. This opinion was expressed by Oleksandr Musienko, the head of the Center for Military Legal Research, on the YouTube channel Focus.

According to the expert, it all depends on the ammunition. Casette shells will allow you to destroy more personnel and equipment. ATACMS will also make it possible to strike the Crimean bridge. "It will not be easy for them with ATACMS," Musienko said. The analyst named the main advantages of such weapons: Musienko emphasized that the ballistic trajectory is difficult to intercept. Not all anti-aircraft missile systems can counteract such missiles.

At the same time, it all depends on the set of measures, how Russian invaders will reside. "Any attack on the Ukrainian side is carefully planned," the analyst said. The United States intends to hand over the first ATACMS missiles to Ukraine. It has not been officially reported yet, but already writes the American press and speak in Congress. The focus on September 26 learned what the first goals for ATACMS will be and what will give them the benefits of receiving them by the Ukrainian army.

In fact, such weapons will be left by Russian troops without reserves in the occupied territories. According to the former commander of the US Land Forces in Europe, General Ben Gogess, ATASMS for Ukraine will probably decide to give a smaller radius. It can only be cassette ammunition. In his view, these weapons will not have considerable efficiency for destroying goals in temporarily occupied Crimea.
