"Putin strategically lost": Delivery atacms led to the failure of the Kremlin blackmail, - General
The former head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine Mykola Malomuzh in an interview with OBOZREVATEL told what the goals could become priority for defense forces. According to him, the decision to supply weapons has been made a long time ago and the Russian Federation was known.
Kremlin representatives made unofficial demarchi operative channels, warning the event about the probable confrontation between the US and the Russian Federation in the event of continued military assistance for Ukraine. But such pressure from Moscow did not receive a reaction from Washington and the rocket went to Ukraine. It is also a kind of sign for Russia that no one will take nuclear blackmail seriously.
"But so far, this is a trial option, it is not strategic, although it has certain combat prospects. I think it will significantly affect the formation of a large package. The first deliveries have shown that the US is fulfilled to Ukraine, this is the first. Second - that states They are not afraid of Russia. Third - the use of these missiles in the airfields in Berdyansk and Lugansk showed very much efficiency not only in terms of drawing specific blows, " - said Mykola Malomuzh.
It has been separately stated that the US is maintaining a strategic support for Ukraine and continuing military assistance. With the help of the Armed Forces missiles obtained will be able to affect not only aerodromes in the occupied territories, but also starting facilities, for example, in the Crimea. It can be about two powerful complexes, from which Iranian UAVS Shahd or "Onyxs" launch. Also in the danger zone large ammunition, oil depot or even enemy warships.
In general, the defense forces are very responsible for the choice of important goals, the destruction of which undermines the combat component and reserves of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The enemy can move them to their territory, where, according to arrangements, missiles cannot fly. "Maybe we will no longer be able to fire such cities as sums, Kharkiv, Zaporozhye, Kherson, since a powerful suppression system will be built in all regions. There is also a political component.
Putin has lost strategically in this situation. His threats, his blackmail did not work. This shows his weakness as a strategist and as an aggressor who tries to dictate the conditions of the world, "Nikolai Mala Lamuzh continued. We will remind, on October 20 in the United States told whether the Armed Forces could beat ATCMS rockets in the Russian Federation.
