A Russian missile hit an apartment building in Dnipro. The Russians can increasingly hit residential areas.
This opinion Channel 24 was expressed by the military-political observer of the Information Resistance group Alexander Kovalenko. The old and inaccurate X-22 missile in the Dnieper should have hit the wrong house.
X-22 missiles are defective and inaccurate.
Kovalenko said that the Russians had started using Kh-22 missiles again. They are well aware of the difficulties of this weapon. It's an old, defective, inaccurate rocket that also has fuel problems. It is used at a distance of 150 – 200 kilometers, but at a distance of 600 kilometers it may simply run out of fuel and fall on the way.
We already have several such missiles at the bottom in the Black Sea. They tried to shell Odessa and the Odessa region. Therefore, it is impossible to use the X-22 as a high-precision and effective weapon. The Russians will continue to use elements of pressure, destroying critical infrastructure, – said the military-political observer of the Information Resistance group.
He added that the Russians will launch high-precision X-101, Caliber, etc. . And the Kh-22 will be used to divert air defenses. Inaccurate, defective missiles can be aimed at residential areas, but they can hit anywhere with such use.

The Russians will direct missiles at critical infrastructure, but…
According to the military-political observer of the “Information resistance” group, even if the Russians designate thermal power plants, hydroelectric power plants, etc. as a target for the Kh-22, it is so inaccurate and defective that can go anywhere. They have known this since the days of the USSR.
“Their command knows very well that the missile will not hit the target. Residential areas are located near such objects, substations, 500-600 meters from them,” Kovalenko noted .
