The Earth-Earth rocket 48H6DM weighs 180 kilograms, it flies at a speed of 2. 5 km/sec and affects the target at a distance of 250 kilometers. The range of rocket 5V55 is up to 75 kilometers and the weight of the combat part is 133 kilograms.
The Russians launch missiles from the C-400, according to military experts, from the Belarusian airfield "Zyabrivka" under Gomel, 20 kilometers from the border with Ukraine. This airfield has already been featured as a starting area of the C-300 for strikes on ground facilities in the Chernihiv region. The area of the lesion of the C-400 allows you to keep not only Kyiv, but also Zhytomyr, Rivne, Lutsk and Lviv under the sight of Belarus.
5V55 missiles from Belarus could only be fired only cities on the Kovel-Sarny-Krosten Conditional Line, experts added.

Anti -aircraft missiles 48H6DM are equipped with a contact blast that responds to the passage along with the air target.
