Aircraft and drones too far: How to weaken Russian massive attacks
It is 188 of the air attack, in particular: according to the Air Force, during the reflection of the attack of the Russian Federation was shot: 62 more drones were locked. So the purpose of the enemy was the objects of Ukrainian energy. Oleksandr Musienko, the head of the Center for Military Legal Research, noted in a conversation with focus that it is necessary to counteract the attacks of the Russian Federation as Ukraine already does it.
In particular, there is a worked complex of counteracting the beating of the enemy air agents. However, more air defense systems and missiles are required. "We are still lacking in and we miss some rockets because we physically do not have time to knock them down. In addition, we need more systems in order to cover the energy objects in the autumn and winter period. We need to saturate systems in order to Cover both the front, military objects, and civilian critical infrastructure, "Musienko said.
According to him, now Ukraine can attack the aerodromes that get rockets, it is a lane up to 300 kilometers. In order to increase the reach area, rockets with a range of at least 500 kilometers are required, ideally 500-700 kilometers. Defense forces also try to strike with drones, those hostile objects that are located in depth. The capabilities of the enemy can also be reduced by strokes on the military industry of the Russian Federation, where missiles and elements can be produced.
In addition, constant work with the West is important for partners to increase sanctions and pressure on companies that help Russia. These are countries that are liberal to double -use technologies, in particular, China. Musienko stressed that one attack was not enough. While the most valuable on the air base is the control points, that is, the dispatching tower and the equipment that is there. In addition, important aircraft and weapons that are on the air base.
While, in particular, a large number of weapons are required to destroy the runway. "To destroy this with serious consequences for the enemy, it is necessary to beat when there are planes in large numbers. And most importantly - it is to damage strategic aviation or warehouses with rocket weapons. I do not exclude that in the future we will see such blows," - he explained Head of the Center for Military Legal Research.
Military expert Dmitry Snegirev recalled that Ukraine has already struck enemy airfields with strategic bombers. It is about the aerodromes "Engels" in the Saratov region, the distance from the line of the Ukrainian state border - up to 700 kilometers, "deer" in the Murmansk region - 1500 kilometers from the state border line.
"We can cause the only question that struck is not appropriate means of damage, such as ATCMS with a cassette fighting unit that works in the area, and therefore there is a greater probability Ukraine ", - said Focus Snegirev. He noted that these objects work on these objects, but there are some restrictions on the moment of use. While the so -called TKR tactical airfields are located in the reach and ATACMS, Storm Shadow, Scalp, it is about 300 kilometers.
In addition, Ukraine strikes the Shakh Street. So the other day the airfield in Kursk region and Cape Chauda was attacked. He emphasized that the defense forces need more powerful weapons, in particular, the question of the possible transfer of Tomahawk missiles with a range of 1500 kilometers, Snegirev said. Nowadays, Ukrainian UAVs can affect entire 2,000 kilometers at a distance, but the combat unit of the drone compared to the wryspace of the winged rocket is quite weak.
According to Musienko, it is possible to reduce the effects of attacks, while the volumes depend on the aircraft and missiles in the Russian Federation. In order to reduce aircraft, you need to beat and destroy them. The enemy does not produce strategic aviation, so every lost board is a loss that cannot be offset. He stressed that sanctions are also important to limit the access of the Russian Federation to the market technology of rocket components and to strengthen the Ukrainian air defense.
Snegirev is convinced that the volumes of hostile attacks can be reduced with the help of Tomahawk, because then it will be possible to keep under fire control, in fact, all aerodromes of strategic aviation base. "The boards that go out of the impact point are out of the area of defeat of the Ukrainian air defense system. Although there were positive points here when we were able to ambushes using Patriot. But again in Patriot the lesion is 120 kilometers.
These are some restrictions, and The Russians have drawn conclusions and are not currently in the area of Ukrainian air defense, but are striking from a safe distance for themselves, "the expert explained. Dmitry Snegirev reported that yesterday was 25 years old, as Ukraine handed over the Russian Federation to 11 strategic bombers. It is about Tu-160 and TU-95MC.
According to the 1999 treaty, Kyiv handed over 600 X-55 missiles and strategic bombers to Moscow, which significantly reduced Ukraine's ability to respond to such missile strokes adequately. "And we paid them for consumed gas worth 275 million, although the real cost of both aircraft and the means of damage is ten times higher. This is the main reason why we cannot respond adequately.
If there were so many missiles, strategic bombers, we would cover the Significant territories of the Russian Federation, first of all, the aerodromes of their strategic bombers, " - summed up a military expert. We will remind, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the purpose of the strikes of the Russian Federation on November 28 was the Ukrainian energy infrastructure. He noted that the enemy used rockets with a cassette combat unit, which testifies to the further escalation of the war.
