The Russian Federation hit Odessa with a 4-ton missile that previously belonged to the Armed Forces-Defense Express

A rare anti-ship P-35, made in the 60's of the last century, was previously stored in Crimea. After the occupation of the peninsula, the Russians seized the military warehouse and disconnected rocket weapons. Russia tries to use any remnants of rocket weapons for blows in Ukraine. The director of the information and consulting company Defense Express Sergey Zgurets said this in the comment "Espresso".

According to him, a rare 4-ton anti-ship P-35, made in the 60's of the last century, was knocked down under Odessa. Experts analyzed her wreckage and concluded that this was the first example of the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of the P-35 missile, which was developed in 1962. "Initially, this rocket was stored in the reserves of the Ukrainian army. There is a Soviet complex" Us ", which was located near Balaklava, there were two divisions.

When the distribution of the Black Sea Fleet took place, Ukraine received these complexes. In 2014, the annexation of the Crimea took place. , and in 2019, the Russians restored one of the divisions, which was preserved by the Armed Forces. This division was located in the settlement of the reserve, "Zgurets explained.

According to him, there is already an assumption where this rocket was launched and noted that Ukrainian air defense can knock down such rockets, but they still have sufficient Russians. "The P-35 missile is inaccurate but powerful as x-22. It has a range up to 300 km, weight of 1 ton of combat part. It can even use nuclear combat units. This indicates that Russia is trying to use any remains of a missile Weapons for blows in our cities, "said Sergei Zgurets.
