Tomahawk missiles will be a test for air defense: how much will it fly to Moscow (video)
As an analogue of Winged Tomahawka, you can consider the Russian winged rocket X-101, Konstantin Krivolap, Avaya Expert, explained on the air of Espresso. Ukrainian air defense means have shown that it is possible to neutralize X-101, that is, the air defense of the Russian Federation is probably partially coping with air threats, heard on air. Krivolap said that the variant of the Tomahawk missile, capable of flying 2,500 km, was destroyed during the disarmament program in the 1990s.
Today there are missiles that get 1 600 km and fly at a height of 50 m. The Russians have similar characteristics. The means of defeat of the Russian Federation flies three times (5 600 km) and has several navigation systems, but the air defense system knocks them with efficiency of 80-90%. At the same time, it is likely that the "tomahavki" will fly towards Moscow, and there the concentration of air defense agents is higher than in the rest of the Russian territory, the expert said.
Given these considerations, it is not necessary to expect that "Tomahawk's rocket is not a gamechair. " "It should be understood that from 20 rockets will fly four, that is, 20%. It can fly much more, but it is necessary to proceed from the rate that no more than 80% of the missiles will be knocked down, but at least two will fly. Therefore, 30 missiles, well, six more can come to the target, and it will not make the war somehow.
" According to the expert, Tomahawki can not even run, but use to "manipulate Putin's opinion". US President Donald Trump can hope that the Kremlin will agree to Bigdil under the pressure of circumstances. Among other things, Krivolap was analyzed by the number of Tomahawk missiles in the United States and which have dispersed different customers around the world.
According to him, over the years of production, about 9 thousand units were made, about half were used during various conflicts and in stock - approximately 4 150. At the same time, Washington's partners received much more missiles than promising Ukraine. For example, Poland-200-300 "tomatov", Britain-1,000, someone received 500.
It should be noted that Focus wrote about Tomahawk missiles and suggested the opinion of the military expert Pavel Zrozhny about whether the means of the Russian Federation with such a threat. The expert noted that the Russians had already met with this rocket during the war of Syria. According to him, the C-300 and C-400 complexes did not cope with an air attack, and the US Air Force hit for planned purposes.
