Why the Russian Federation attacked Kiev after a long pause and what tried to impress: Expert explanation (photo)
Military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko believes that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation tried to get to the objects of energy, as well as to destroy aerodromes, where F-16 fighters will soon be based. About it reports "RBC-Ukraine". According to the expert, Ukrainian energy was both the main purpose of the aggressor country. Like aerodromes that the enemy attacks from the first days of war.
"Especially military airfields, where the F-16 can be located in the future and the infrastructure is needed. That is why these blows are made," Kovalenko said. The last time the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was beat in the Ukrainian capital on May 31. And why they decided to again carry out a massive attack on Kiev - remains a mystery. Although Kovalenko has an assumption.
"They have been verified repeatedly that in Kiev is a powerful echelorated air defense and it is difficult to break through. Especially if you strike a limited ammunition, and it was so. That is, there was no thing about the breakthrough , they tried to find out which systems are present in Kiev now, ”Kovalenko says. Missiles such as the X-101 used by Kyiv are beaten by all small/middle radius systems that use the Ukrainian air defense forces.
And as for "daggers" (such a rocket was one on the night of June 12)-only Patriot or Samp-T. "So, they may have tried to find out the location of these systems, or whether they have changed, and whether they are now near Kiev," Kovalenko said. It was not the only wonder on the night of June 12. The Russian Federation used four TU-95MC bombers, releasing one rocket from each. While one such bomber can carry 8 missiles at once. "One rocket is some sense? Bake fuel, spend four aircraft.
It is a very strange moment. But not the first time it is said that their Tu-95m car planes are very old, they are tens of years. The total load resource has been worked out in principle, ”Kovalenko says. He suggests that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is risky to use full ammunition on bombers, because of their waste resource. Probably, Russians try to minimize risks by launching one rocket from the aircraft. This night, 6 rockets and 24 cheeds launched in Kiev and the region.
The Ukrainian air defense has destroyed: but there are consequences due to the fall of debris. One person was injured in the Kyiv region. Also in two districts of the region were damaged a private house, gas station, garage, a warehouse. There are no hits into residential or critical infrastructure, the SES reports. The KSCA noted that on the night of June 12, 6,00 people were covered at the stations of the metro. Of these, 600 are children.
We will remind, this morning analysts reproduced the movement of enemy rockets and drones, which were launched, both from the territory of the Russian Federation and from the occupied Crimea. Winged rockets of type X-101 flew through Sumy region, Poltava, Cherkasy, Vinnytsia and Kiev. The "dagger" flew across Sumy and Chernihiv region. Instead, shahamed UAVs flew in most southern, eastern, northeastern and central regions of Ukraine.
