The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation beat on airfields with cassette X-101 with grenades on timer-Defense Express (photo)
According to the Air Force Command, in total, Russian troops released 4 winged X-101 missiles of 4 TU-95MC, one X-47 "dagger" and one ballistic missile from Iskander OTRC. There were also 24 Shahd drones, all of them were knocked down by the Iskander missile. Subsequently, it turned out that the whipped X-101 had cassette units, so the residents of Vasylkiv, Glevakhi and surrounding villages were urged to be as careful as possible and not to approach these elements.
Subelemen are not detonated in the air, but clogged the area on which they fall. They look like metal balls or truncated cylinders - about 10 cm in diameter. These are fragile ammunition designed to damage light equipment in open areas and live strength. Usually, such subbounds may have an automatic explosion system for a timer that works for a while. They can be detunding at any moment, so they are extremely dangerous to approach them and you should call appropriate services.
The first case of use of the X-101 with the cassette combat part was recorded on the night of June 7. If you believe the sources that publish rocket flight routes, the targets of the X-101 strokes were an airfield in Starokostiantyn. Judging by the available information, the goals of this blow were most likely an airfield in Vasylkov. The logic is obviously that cassette subbovrespasses are quite effective against aircraft and aerodrome equipment in open areas.
It should also be noted that when it comes to cassette X-101, it is a version with two combat units, which were first recorded at the end of March. In this rocket, one combat part remains with an original fragmentation-fugitive weighing about 400 kg, the second is slightly smaller and is installed as a result of a decrease in the rocket fuel tank. Recall that analysts have reproduced the movement of rockets and Shahd during a night attack on June 12.
