ATACMS systematically destroy Russian air defense in Crimea - Defense Express

According to analysts, ATACMS ballistic missiles were created precisely to affect the long-range anti-aircraft missile complexes, which prove the last attacks of the Armed Forces on military objects in temporarily occupied Crimea. The main goals for the ballistic missiles of American production ATACMS are Russia's air defense systems in occupied Crimea, as well as military airfields of the invaders. This conclusion was reached by analysts of the Defense Express portal.

"We are talking about a steady trend with the destruction of air defense of the invaders on the peninsula, the formation of gaps in the area of ​​inspection of the radar (radar stations - ed. ) And the possibility of more efficient strikes of winged missiles and drones," the material reads. Analysts have specified that bridges are not a priority target for ATACMS. In particular, there is an example of night blows to Evpatoria, Janka and Simferopol on the night of April 30.

According to Defense Express, there is an unconfirmed information that the attack was combined and, in addition to ballistic missiles on the enemy, a long-range drones of Kamikadze were launched. "Despite the declaration of p*sides, the possibility of intercepting ballistic missiles with its C-400, the objective reality was somewhat different and was demonstrated in Dzhanka, where ATACMS destroyed this SCR," the analysts said.

In addition, according to the newspaper, on April 28, information about another strike of ATACMS on the positions of the Russian air defense system at Cape Tarkhankut. According to Russian unofficial sources, the attack was also successful and ended with the destruction of only four starting installations. "Thus, the next hit on April 30 was also attached to Russian air defense positions more than probably," Defense Express said.

That is why, according to analysts, for ATACMS the positions of long-range CRCs (anti-aircraft missile complexes) is a primary target, as well as aerodromes. "It was under such a task that he was created," the publication was explained. We will remind, at night on April 30 in the temporarily occupied Crimea explosions. The collaborator from the Zaporizhzhya region Volodymyr Rogov said that allegedly Ukrainian military was struck by the Peninsula with the help of ATACMS ballistic missiles.

According to him, Russian air defense allegedly successfully worked on Jankoy and Simferopol. On April 25, the Pentagon stated that Ukraine can use weapons that will be provided to Kiev within a new package of military support to defeat Russian goals in Crimea. In particular, it is about ATACMS ballistic missiles.
