Arestovich spoke about the missiles used by Russia/Channel 24 Collage
Russia is now using obsolete Kh-22 missiles and new modern Kinzhals. According to Aleksey Arestovich, this indicates that Russian troops are saving precision weapons.
An adviser to the head of the Presidential Office said that Kh-22 missiles are an old Soviet choice from the 60s. The circular probable deviation error is 200 – 300 meters. Therefore, there is a great threat of hitting civilian objects.
Russia saves on high-precision weapons, – Arestovich
At the same time, the Russians use modern Kinzhal missiles fired from MiG-31 aircraft.
< p class="bloquote cke-markup"> The use of the most ancient (and most dangerous) and the most modern missiles at the same time shows that the economy of high-precision missiles has gone into them, occupying a niche between the “old scrap” and a small amount of the most modern weapons. – Arestovich explained.
Several conclusions can be drawn from this: there will be more misses and, accordingly, hits in residential areas due to the X-22. There will be no way to intercept Kinzhal missiles, because they are hypersonic. This can create a “psychological picture of massive missile terror”.
Missile attacks are intended to create a general negative background.
One of the goals of mass missile attacks is to create a general negative background. This has happened before in Germany during the mass bombings and shelling of Israel.
Which exit? Do not neglect the air raid alert, especially if you live near critical infrastructure and military installations, Arestovich advised.
The Pentagon says that Russia lacks precision weapons
Agreed with Arestovich's opinion and at the Pentagon. On May 9, a senior US defense official said that Russia is indeed experiencing problems in the supply of precision-guided munitions. This is evidenced by the fact that strikes on Mariupol are carried out with unguided bombs.
How is the situation with Ukrainian weapons: latest news
- The day before, Joe Biden signed the Lend-Lease law for Ukraine. This will allow the supply of weapons to Kyiv in unlimited quantities.
- The Pentagon says that most of the howitzers have already been transferred to Ukraine, as well as more than 100,000 ammunition for them.
- The head of the Lugansk OVA, Sergei Gaidai, said, what he cannot specify, but Western weapons are already being supplied and working at the front.
