Konstantin Olshansky VDC strike: Ukraine has begun to modernize Neptune missiles - Bratchuk

According to speaker UDA, the Ukrainian anti -ship rocket, which has defeated the cruiser "Moscow", is one of the main players in the Black Sea today. The anti-ship winged rocket R-360 "Neptune", which the defense forces used for attack on a large landing ship (VDK) "Konstantin Olshansky" was probably modernized.

A spokesman for the Ukrainian Volunteer Army "South", the chairman of the Public Council at the Odessa OVA Sergey Bratchuk on the air of the national telehole, told about it on Tuesday, March 26. According to him, the plans for the silt of the ship were carried out for a long time. "We could not give the enemy such a chance that Olshansky worked on the Russians. Therefore, there was a corresponding lesion, the corresponding decision was made in advance," Bratchuk said.

He also emphasized the probable modernization of Neptune rocket and its increased slaughter force, which led to successful results in battle. "Neptune", who caused the defeat of his time and the cruiser "Moscow", and "today appears as one of the main players by the forces of defense in this naval direction. This cannot but rejoice. Neptune was not the same as it was two years ago. It develops, it may be updated and has more slaughter. Therefore, such results demonstrates.

I think this is far from the last result from the defeat of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, "Bratchuk summarized. Military observers of Defense Express have noticed that, according to official data, the flight of Neptune rocket is about 280 km. However The fact that the rocket should still overcome the distance to bypass hostile air defense systems, this figure is likely to reach 400 km. In addition, according to 2021 data, the rocket could attack "small", "medium" and "big" goals.

However, the efficiency of its guidance depends on the level of obstacles. In bays with other ships or in the presence of HRS systems, the complexity increases. Therefore, the distribution of goals is important to prevent repeated shocks by one purpose in the conditions of volley start, otherwise a few rockets can affect the same target. This, according to experts, shows that the Neptune rocket received new opportunities in recent years.

Recall that March 26 became known that the forces of Ukraine attacked the large landing ship "Konstantin Olshansky", which the Russians captured during the occupation of the Crimean Peninsula In 2014. The Russians wanted to publish the Konstantin Olshansky ship for one of their VDCs, including Minsk or Olenagorsky Gornyak, which were previously damaged by Ukrainian fighters.
