Oleksandr Kovalenko, a military observer of the group "Information Resistance", told about what such a means of an air attack. According to him, information about the first use of the P-35 missile in the territory of Ukraine appeared on January 18. At the same time, it was verified by debris, but Russian propaganda quickly began to disperse the narrative about the successful use of this winged archaism.

"For almost two years of full-scale invasion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, these missiles have never been used. And it is not surprising, because P-35 is a technical and technological remnant of the past, a place for which has long been in the dump of history. Why is it so? that Russian propaganda clearly exaggerates the efficiency of the P-35, "the expert notes. P-35 is a Soviet anti-ship rocket, the development of which began in the mid-1950s. It was adopted in the early 1960s.

The main characteristics of the rocket: Oleksandr Kovalenko notes that at one time the rocket was "good", however, had several drawbacks - the excessive height of the flight on the march, which made it too visible to the air defense. The low speed of flight made it possible to intercept it with all means that had a speed of 1. 5 mach, as well as supersonic fighters.

"The use of P-35 by Russian invaders is a prime example of how deep the crisis of production and the use of rockets plunged after the start of a full-scale war. the world, "the expert says. He notes that this indicates that the Russian Federation is not able to meet its needs for rocket weapons without assistance and P-35 therefore direct evidence. Recall that the Russian Federation first used in Ukraine a rare 4-ton P-35 rocket.
