It takes something more exotic than Patriot: the expert suggested if the Armed Forces will be able to knock down the RC-26 "River" of the Russian Federation (video)

To knock down such Russian missiles, Ukraine needs to ask the US Thaad, which recently the Americans covered Israel because Patriot was created to beat small range ballistic missiles, says Ivan Kirichevsky. The excitement around the possible use of Russia by the intercontinental rocket PC-26 "Rubezh" is justified, since it is unknown at this time whether Ukraine has the means to knock down this air threat. because there is an open question whether we have the means to knock this rocket.

The military expert of the portal Defense Express said Ivan Kirichevsky on the air of Espresso. "They have this PC-26 long ago, in the plan that it is a developed development that successfully passed the test, odd . Він навіть готувався до виробництва в рамках державної програми озброєння РФ 2018-2025 років.

Тільки тоді, схоже, що Кремль вирішив обрати інший проєкт по ракеті середньої дальності, який ми знаємо як "Іскандер-К", — сказав він. За словами експерта , in the summer of this year, when the Russian Federation talked about the production of small and medium range missiles, it was a hint that they can also mention the PC-26 "Rubezh and its production.

"Moreover, it is about a small intercontinental ballistic missile, which in fact should have a range of starting from 2000 to 6000 km," Kirichevsky said. According to the expert, the concern about the use of the Russian Federation PC-26 is quite justified, since it is unknown at this time whether Ukraine has the means to knock down such missiles, so Kiev should ask Washington something more powerful than Patriot. "Patriot was created for smaller ballistic missiles like" Iskander ".

And here we are talking about a medium -range missile. To knock down such rockets, we need to ask at least Thaad that Americans have recently covered Israel. Or you can ask for an even more exotic thing. There are two types of ground launches in the US Armed Forces-under the SM-6 marine anti-aircraft missile, which is very expensive, but is intended to knock down medium-range ballistic missiles, "the expert explained.
