One third of all missiles - on Odessa: why the city air defense has been problematic for the third year

In October, Odesa and the region became the most fired territories of Ukraine. The military observer Alexander Kovalenko analyzes the statistics of rocket strokes and is surprised - why has not yet been aggravated the city's air defense, which has been the target of the Russians for many months? In October, Odesa and the region became the rear territories of Ukraine, which are most fired at the RVB rocket component.

During October in Odessa and Odessa region, missile strikes were 14 days out of 31. 29 rocket means were involved, including 9m723 OTRC Iskander-M, X-31P, X-59/69 missiles. There were also unknown -type goals and lost over the Black Sea. The beat was 15%. In October, RVBs used 84 rocket means in Ukraine, and more than 1/3 of them occurred in Odessa and Odessa region.

The topic of Odessa's problematic air defense has pulled from 2022, but was particularly acute in 2023, when Russia launched grain terror. Then, almost every 2-3 days, combined strikes were sent to Odessa, which had a relative success. Surprisingly, when one of the Russian rockets struck the Transfiguration Cathedral, in which Patriarch Cyril was worshiped in sermons and relaxed "Brotherhood", it was decided to allocate funds to the Moscow Patriarchate.

Italy alone allocated 500,000 euros for the restoration of the Transfiguration Cathedral, and in general for the restoration of architectural monuments affected by Russian blows, 40 million euros were allocated . . . Cultural critics and intelligentsia can rush to me stones, but during the war , if you want to keep what is left, you should allocate funds not to restore the destroyed, which can be destroyed tomorrow, but in defense of what is left. End of 2024 . . . The third year of the war.
