Russia cannot protect: what the strike on the Akhtubinsk airfield demonstrated Alina Burtseva As a result of an attack on the Akhtubinsk airfield in Russia, Su-57s were hit. But it was a proactive blow. About this 24 Channel said Deputy General Director of the company for the production of electronic warfare, aviation expert Anatoly Khrapchinsky, noting that in the future the aggressor country planned to use such aircraft to attack the territory of Ukraine with X-69 missiles. This is a fairly important airfield in Russia. By the way, the defeat of the Su-57 is the first such case in history. This Vladimirovka airfield has been known since Soviet times. There, the Russians carried out modernization or testing of the latest weapons. The invaders tested some weapons for aircraft, and subsequently used them on the territory of Ukraine. It is said, for example, about aerial bombs and X-69 missiles. In fact, this is a blow to the image of Russia, and shows that Russia cannot ensure the security of its strategically important facilities,” said Anatoly Khrapchinsky. One of the Su-57 aircraft was partially covered by an unfinished hangar. Therefore, it was necessary to hit in such a way that could be hit. “As a result, we see a significant defeat of this aircraft. Most likely, it will no longer take to the skies. And for the second aircraft, which is partially damaged, there is a question about whether it will be restored,” said the deputy general director of the electronic warfare production company. Russia has pressing problems with its aircraft fleet, which they must actively prepare, because it is being actively exploited.But the Su-57 was not used very actively during hostilities. Such a board could carry X-69 missiles, which could replace strategic aviation missiles. Now Russia uses it less. There are problems with strategic aviation, which they cannot build, so they are trying to use tactical aviation. “It was a proactive strike,” the aviation expert emphasized. The aggressor country planned to actively operate the Su-57 aircraft. This could be due, for example, to the suppression of the Ukrainian air defense system. However, it is only increasing. There was a case when this aircraft came under the radar systems of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. After that, he quickly flew out of this zone. < p>The Russians call this fighter a “5th generation” aircraft. However, there are doubts.The engines that power this fighter are Soviet. They were developed in the 80s of the last century. Therefore, there is a question about the ability of the tactical and technical characteristics of this aircraft. Additionally, there are problems with avionics, because they mainly consist of Western elements. Meanwhile, Russia cannot actively manufacture or purchase these elements. It is better for it to purchase or look for elements in order to fill its Su-34 and Su-35. Most likely, the Su-57 is now “on pause.” It is known that the invaders have from 6 to 11 such fighters. However, 6 of them are in service, and the rest are test ones, which are located in Akhtubinsk. Pilots could train on such aircraft or conduct tests to modernize some elements. makes it a fifth-generation aircraft,” emphasized the deputy general director of the company for the production of electronic warfare.What is evidenced by the strike on the airfield
