The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation hit Kharkiv anti-ship missile X-35: 18 people were injured (video)

To spread: On the night of June 5, Russian troops struck a combined blow to the Slobid district of Kharkiv, starting it with the use of an anti-ship X-35. About it reports the office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine. The first phase of the impact began around 00:30. According to the investigation, the X-35 rocket struck the open land in the area of ​​transport infrastructure. In about half an hour, the enemy carried out a massive attack by percussion drones in the residential sector.

The drones hit two multi -storey buildings and surrounding objects. "18 people were injured, including a pregnant woman, two girls 13 years old, one girl 9 years old and a 7-year-old boy. All the victims have an acute response to stress," the statement said. It is likely that the rocket was launched from the Su-34M aircraft-a modernized front-line bomber used by Russia in tactical aviation.

According to the "miller" observers, in the conditions of the Russo-Ukrainian War, X-35 is increasingly used not on maritime, but for land purposes, including Ukrainian radar stations and air defense stations. Although X-35 has been developed as an anti-ship rocket, Russian military has been actively using it in land in recent years.

This is due to a number of factors: according to some estimates, in the case of impact on Kharkiv, the rocket could be used as an element of a tactical scheme to create a "corridor" in the air defense system of Ukraine - with the purpose of further successful penetration of shock drones. However, for unknown reasons, this attempt was unsuccessful: the Ukrainian air defense system was able to respond to a further attack.
