Russia began to save high-precision expensive missiles, more and more being used by the Soviets.
Russian planes have not been flying over Ukraine -controlled territory for nearly two months now and are increasingly using “old” missiles. This was announced on Tuesday, June 14, by the press secretary of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat.
“Recently, there has been a trend towards saving high-precision, expensive missiles. Today, the enemy is increasingly using Soviet type cruise missiles, such as the Kh-59 aircraft missile and Kh-22 missile, one of the most destructive missiles launched by the enemy, ” – he said.
An Air Force spokesman specified that the warhead mass of the X-22 missile was 900 kg and was causing very serious damage.
“This missile has a significant drawback – that it doesn’t fly at the target, doesn’t always hit where it was sent, and often civilian infrastructure facilities with people killed become objects of destruction,” he said. by Ignat.
He also said that the Russian Federation has begun to use aviation less directly on the territory of Ukraine.
“The enemy uses its aviation remotely, from the territory of Belarus, the Black Sea, Russia, first of all, it is Tu-160 and Tu-95 strategic bombers, which fire high-tech missiles on our territory, which is very expensive., a missile costs millions of dollars. It also costs a lot of basing, “Ignat explained.
Recently, the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been gradually shooting down Russian planes and helicopters, but a Su-34 was shot down in the Izyum area the other day. Also, a Ka-52 helicopter was shot down in the Kharkiv region.
