"Single Strategy": The analyst told how to prevent rocket attacks of the Russian Federation

According to the editor-in-chief of Defense Express Oleg Katkova, F-16 fighter jets, which Ukraine should soon receive, will not be able to reach the MIG-31K over the Tula region and Tu-95MS over the Caspian Sea. The only way to reduce the intensity of Ukraine's missile attacks is to destroy Russian aircraft on Earth. This was stated by the editor -in -chief of Defense Express Oleg Katkov on the air of Ukrainian Radio on January 3.

Oleg Katkov noted that in recent days the enemy has released about 150 winged missiles across Ukraine, demonstrating that it could carry out a concentrated attack. Answering the question of whether Ukraine can get the AFA planes that are launched, the expert noted that the most long -range SPRC, which is in service in Ukraine is Patriot. According to Oleg Katkov, to destroy the MiG-31K, capable of launching "daggers", the Patriot systems would have to place "somewhere north of Belgorod.

" The same applies to the Russian Tu-95MC, which are carriers of X-101. "The only, exclusively hypothetical situation, is the possibility of beating Tu-22m3 with X-22 missiles. But it will be practically necessary to put Patriot on the border," the analyst said. According to Oleg Katkov, even the F-16 fighters promised to Ukraine will not be able to reach the MiG-31K over the Tula region and Tu-95MS over the Caspian Sea.

"The only strategy for reducing missile attacks by the Russian Federation is the destruction of aircraft on Earth," the expert said.
