In Crimea, the amount of “cotton” has decreased, however, the number of targets shot down by Russian air defense has increased . So the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to “exhaust” enemy anti-aircraft gunners.
This opinion Channel 24 was voiced by Defense Express military expert Ivan Kirichevsky. He also added that no weapon in the world can guarantee 100% hits.
APU reached its goal
The expert explained the decrease in the intensity of the “cotton” on the occupied peninsula by the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine could achieve their goals. In particular, according to Reuters, a significant part of the aviation of the Russian Black Sea Fleet has been put out of action. And now, to patrol their shores, the invaders are forced to use not modern Su-30s, but older Be-12s. “- hypersonic missiles from the Crimean peninsula,” said Kirichevskiy.The military expert noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in addition, are also trying to “exhaust” the air defense of the infidels. In fact, apply their tactics.
“When the Russians left the North, they tried to “exhaust” our anti-aircraft gunners with some minor strikes. And then in the morning launch several cruise missiles at Kyiv,” Kirichevski emphasized.< /p>
In his opinion, a similar situation is happening in Crimea now. And when the Armed Forces of Ukraine understand that the enemy is “exhausted”, then there will be some kind of powerful “pop”.
It's very difficult to consistently hit targets
Kirichevsky also said that another reason why the amount of “cotton” has decreased in Crimea is that it is quite difficult to constantly hit targets. This does not guarantee any weapon in the world. Even American HARM missiles.
“In particular, I will give an example that anti-ship missiles are always launched in pairs, because one may not hit,” the expert emphasized.
Why air defense worked in Crimea
Kirichevsky also suggested why air defense worked in Crimea. In his opinion, since the Russians still have not shown the wreckage of what they shot down, then this is something insignificant. For example, the Armed Forces of Ukraine “exhaust” the enemy with the so-called consumables, some cheap drones.
For example, it flew into the roof of the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol. A drone from AliExpress for $9,000,” a military expert said.
Ukrainian military forces infidels to spend their air defense systems and test its effectiveness.
“In particular, there are already photographs of Russian missiles in the field that did not work. That is, they flew by, the target was not detected and just fell,” Kirichevsky added.
