Massive blows: What will help Ukraine cope with rocket terror of the Russian Federation
In mid -2024, a simultaneous start -up of about 30 rockets can already be considered mass - in the fall of 2022 there were strikes 120+ purely winged, not taking into account the ballistics. The conclusion from this fact will be lower. The enemy used about more "calibers" of marine base than X-101 air base. It is an anomaly, usually air missiles times one and a half or two more. A wide range of rockets was involved-from classics to antique X-22 and incomprehensible-experimental "zircon".
With the exception of X-55. Here, to explain who is not aware. X-55 is an old Soviet winged rocket that does not have a nuclear modification. So we are given samples with a mass-hybatal bollene instead of the combat part. There are a lot of these missiles in Russia, somewhere in the fall of 2022 they were used to discharge our air defense. We remember this fact. The blow was scheduled for 10-13 hours. Usually the enemy plans to start launches and that rockets go into the area of defeat at dawn.
This is a technical feature of certain missiles, there will be no details. According to partners, air guns were carried out "from the Volgograd region", that is, above the water area of the Tsar reservoir. This nuance also needs explanation. The fact is that during virtually every massive launch of the rocket during the east, they fall to the ground from the plane. There are known cases of rockets in the Russian Federation, and this happened just when the planes were above land.
Therefore, 90 percent of launches are made over the Caspian Sea. Well, now we (you) have enough information to draw conclusions. Now Tu-95 start from the Kolsky Peninsula-because the main base in Engels near Saratov has become dangerous for them for a long time. It's thousands of kilometers and several hours of flight. Starting from Tsilansky reservoir, unusual and very late in time, testifies to the fact that the carriers of X-101, TU-95 aircraft are on the verge Back is critical.
Other types of rockets are not so dependent on the time of day, but for masses they are administered under the launches of X-101. The waste of the resource is also evidenced by the non-use of missiles X-55-to save the resource reduce the number of aircraft in start, so they do not use "pacifiers".
We have also been seeing that the Tu-95MC plane, which can carry 8 x-101 under the wings and another 8 x-55 in the fuselage, usually launches only two rockets, or even one if the other falls into the water. This indicates the very poor condition of the equipment on Russian aircraft and the poor quality of the missiles themselves. General conclusion: the problem of Russia is not the production of missiles, but the presence of carriers.
The resource of air media in Russia is exhausted, and this resource is not renewed. Tu-95 have long been removed from production and no one has to revive it and nothing. Super sound Tu-160-also cannot be produced, there are elements of a structure, for which they simply have no equipment and technologies. And these planes are also exhausted by "threatening" flights to the Far East and all Venezuela. To beat the carriers that are on the ground and in the sea is the best strategy.
