The Ukrainian expert told what system about "Russian" Russian "Oreshnik"

At least two US systems can potentially resist the Russian ballistic missile. At the same time, Petro Chernik said, Ukraine can develop its own SCR, which will cope with the "Oresshnik". In an interview, General Alexander Sirsky said the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in an interview that there were no systems that can intercept the Russian Oreshnik missile in the Armed Forces. This forces Kyiv to intensify negotiations with allies about the supply of appropriate weapons.

Military expert Petro Chernik told the Armyinform about possible ways to counteract this threat. According to the expert, "Orezhnik" is an advanced version of the old Soviet Medium-range RSD-10 "Pioneer", developed in 1976. The range of such a system could reach 5000 km, and the speed of acceleration blocks was up to 10,000 km/h. This makes such goals an extremely difficult task.

Chernik noted that there are indeed no anti-aircraft missile complexes that can effectively knock down such goals in Ukraine. However, there are several systems in the weapons of Western countries that are theoretically suitable for intercepting: Thaad (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense), an American system about ballistic goals outside the atmosphere. It can intercept missiles up to 200 km, but its high cost (about $ 2.

5 billion per battery and $ 600 million per team point) makes deliveries to Ukraine unlikely. Actually, the only country except the US that purchased Thaad is Saudi Arabia. SM-3 (Standard Missile 3). It is a missile that can run from the American AEGIS ASHORE complex or Typhon mobile installations. Chernik stressed that this is one of the few systems designed to intercepts goals in the exfer. Patriot PAC-3 and SAMP/T are modern SPRs that are in service with Ukraine.

However, their capabilities against this type of rockets have not yet been confirmed. Chernik believes that Ukraine has considerable technological potential in the field of rocket construction. According to the expert, two -thirds of heavy intercontinental ballistic missiles developed in the USSR were created in the Ukrainian "Yuzhmash". This indicates the availability of a scientific and engineering base to create your own complex of strategic about.

However, significant financial investments and political support from the Allies are required. "I am more than sure that your own anti-aircraft missile complex of strategic purpose may appear, which can cope with what is called" Orezhnik ". Although for the sake of justice it is necessary that at this moment we really have no such complexes. ", - Chernyk summed up.
