In particular, a separate strategic bomber is now used to launch each missile. Such aircraft can carry eight cruise missiles, but this has never happened. On the night of September 17, the planes could have been equipped with a large number of missiles, but they fell somewhere in the Caspian region. The press secretary of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ignat, stated this during the telethon.
That happens. Such cases have been recorded. Even in the Volgodonsk region, when the rocket separates from the plane, something does not work, and in the end it can fall down. Therefore, the enemy chooses launch sites and areas where there are no residential buildings, so that there is no evidence that this can happen,” he noted.
Also, according to him, the Russians scramble many bombers into the air with a small number of missiles to practice striking. Thus, the enemy trains crews.
Let us recall that on the night of September 17, the Russian Federation used strategic aviation for missile attacks on Ukraine. From the Engels area, nine Russian Tu-95ms bombers fired 10 air-launched missiles of the X-101/X-555/X-55 type. Ukrainian air defense destroyed six cruise missiles.
