Russia has begun to improve its missiles to bypass Ukraine's air defenses. To do this, Russia began to introduce new parts in the production of missiles and improve them with special traps.
This was told by aviation expert Valery Romanenko. He said that in one of the X-101 missiles, fired on February 10, our military found a block with traps.
Russia is trying to make it harder to track missiles
The report says that when such a missile, at the time of the attack, fixes a radar station at our anti-aircraft missile systems, this unit automatically shoots false targets – dipoles. They interfere with radar.
The rocket has a signaling device, if it has caught the signal from the irradiating radiator, it shoots 2-3 traps that form a cloud. And behind this curtain you can't see him for several minutes. Then she flew and flew out of the radar inspection zone – the air defense lost her, the next radar finds her again. the expert explained.
The aviation expert noted that this upgrade made it more difficult to track the missiles.
It should be noted that Andrey Yermak, the head of the Presidential Office, informed that during the massive attack on February 16, Russia changed tactics. In particular, the invaders used fake targets.
How many missiles does Russia produce
- The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, said that Russia is producing up to 20 missiles per month, which has led to a decrease in the frequency of shelling of Ukraine.
- According to the head of the GUR, the Russian army produces about 20-22 Caliber missiles monthly, and 15-20 Kh-101 missiles.
- This leads to a decrease in the number of missiles in each salvo. Budanov also noted that the frequency of massive rocket attacks decreases over time from the Monday cycle to once every ten days or two weeks.
- He added that Russia is reducing the number of missiles and increasing the time interval between attacks.
