In the Ministry of Federation, 7 ballistic missiles "Grim-2" have been intercepted, which Ukraine did not launch them on them

The Russians began to "knock down" Ukrainian missiles since March 2023. At the same time, it is publicly announced that the work on the Grim-2 project in Ukraine was performed by only 75%. Against the background of reports of the successful work of the Ukrainian air defense on the interception of Russian ballistic missiles by the Patriot system, in Russia also decided to boast the achievements of their air defense defenders.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that Ukrainian ballistic missiles "Grim-2" are easily knocked down. About it writes Defense Express. "The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation continues to generate" News "about" successful interception by means of Air Defense "Ballistic missiles of the operative-tactical level" Grim-2. " Do not crush, because before that they were "beaten" one by one, "the newspaper writes.

It is noted that the Russians began to "knock down" Ukrainian missiles since March this year, and already have in the copilus 7 missiles - March 30, April 9 and 23, May 7 and 26, and on October 1, two at once. At the same time, it is publicly announced that the Grim-2 project works were performed by only 75% as of June 2023 and it is required to complete-$ 0. 5 billion.

"That is, if you take this information as the starting - what exactly is being confused in the Russian Federation remains unknown," the newspaper writes. Defense Express also reports that it remains in question whether the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can knock down ballistic missiles at all, as it is necessary to have an anti -aircraft missile with a kinetic target.

In the Russian Federation, 9m96e2 (9m96e/dm) is used as an anti-racket for C-400, for which the interception of ballistic goals at a distance of 30 km and at an altitude of 25 km is declared. Sometimes this aspect in Russia simply bypass the phrase "as close as possible". US experience with Patriot Pac 2 has already proven that intercepting close undermined and even an increase in the size of the affected elements does not allow you to securely intercepite ballistic missiles.

In particular, for Patriot Pac 2, this was guaranteed at 0. 8-0. 95 in accordance with the results of polygon tests. "The question is what, and most importantly, and what exactly in the Russian Federation intercept ballistic goals remains in question," - commented on the statements of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in Defense Express. Recall that Ukrainian development - the submarine drone "Marichka" successfully passed the test.
