Dream of catching up Patriot complexes: why in the Russian Federation invented the story of destruction of ATACMS missiles

ABP Victories also Anti-aircraft missile C-200, two HARM anti-radios and two Himars RSSU shells. How the occupiers did such a successful work and in which direction is not specified. It should be noted that the Armed Forces successfully used ATACMS missiles on the enemy objects: on the night of October 16, October 17, helicopters at aerodromes in Berdyansk and Lugansk were injured. Apparently, the objects were not covered by Russian air defense systems.

According to the speaker of the Armed Forces, Colonel Yuri Ignatus, the Russian Federation can hypothetically have air defense systems for the destruction of ATACMS missiles, but this issue should be checked in practice. "The C-300V1 complexes with certain missiles can handle the ballistics. Maybe C-400, but it should also be proved," he informed. The caterpillar Soviet C-300V1 beats 9m82 and 9mB3, which intercepts targets within 30 and 40 km and at an altitude of 25 km.

And the C-400 should knock down the targets within 5 to 60 km. Russian military experts claim that ATACMS missiles can knock down any air defense complex that is available in the Russian Federation. These can be Buk-M3, Thor, shell or C-300 systems. "If you were intercepted in the frontal area, I will assume that I worked out" Buk-M3 "," Thor "," shell ". Or more seriously-C-300 or C-400.

For them it is not a problem to lead two missiles, three missiles and destroy Even if ATACMS goes one by one, " - quoted by the Russian military expert Vasyl Dandikin. Not all Russian rockets are able to destroy American Balism, which is able to maneuver in the air, says Focus Military Expert, Defense Express consulting company Valery Ryabikh.

"They did not have an opponent with ATACMS missiles because it was to talk about preparing for confrontation here? Ballistic goal flies at a speed of more than 3 strokes. Therefore, there should be more It is difficult to place many systems to improve protection, "he commented. Ukrainian air defense systems were knocking down Russian aerobalist missiles "Dagger" by Patriot complexes with special kinetic shells. They get into the body of the rocket and defrack it on the rise, added Ryabikh.

In the case of the C-400 complex, the interception of the ballistic goal will only change its flight, not destroy in the air. To make sure that the attachment of ATACMS missiles, the evidence in the form of fragments with characteristic signs of lesion is required, the specialist summed up. We will remind, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation decided to build a new military base between Mariupol and Berdyansk after the strikes of ATACMS rockets.
