Not only PC-26 "River": what rockets hit the Dnieper and what are the consequences for the Russian Federation-the air expert

What is the content in the use of an empty 50 tonne rocket in the Ukrainian city, the air expert, a leading researcher of NAU Valery Romanenko told the NV media. Romanenko explained that a rocket designed to strike at a distance of 2 thousand km. This means that the Russians had to use another means of damage, not to beat existing "poplar" or PC-24 "Yar" (intercontinental for 12 and 11 thousand km, respectively). That is, medium -range missiles (RSD) are from 1 to 3. 5 thousand km.

Meanwhile, Moscow had agreements with Washington so that such rockets were not produced, and Americans adhere to them. However, an example of a blow to the Dnieper shows that Moscow violated the agreement and applied the RSD against Ukrainians, summed up the air expert. According to him, the reaction to such a violation should be serious.

"It has the opportunity to fly closer than 2,000 km, which means that the Russians have created medium -range missiles and violated the fundamental arrangements between Russia, which is the heir to the USSR and the United States, and it is a very serious violation. If there is an investigation, if it is confirmed, I am confirmed I think that the consequences here will be extremely serious, "he summed up.

In addition, there is an agreement between the countries with the use of intercontinental ballistic missiles, so that there is no massive launch of missiles in response and "beginning of the war", said Romanenko. If this item is not executed, we have another violation. "That is, the Russians on the one hand demonstrated the possibility of strikes such rockets. On the other hand, they should be seriously reactions from the United States," the expert said.

The NV media interlocutor also noted that the Russian Federation could use other missile models: this can be said, because there is no accurate data yet. According to his assumptions, the Dnieper could suffer from the DPRK or Iran missiles (for example, the Shahab-3 RSD or "Svitzhil"). According to the reports of the local military administration, "destruction is not too significant", that is, the rocket was flying empty, without explosives, although its main purpose is the nuclear charge.

On the other hand, Romanenko does not understand why the Russians had such a "demonstrative launch". He explained: if it was about the use of "nuclei" against Ukrainians, then you can use a regular artillery shell of 203 and 152 with the corresponding "stuffing". "Most likely, it is a warning. But why to use ballistic missiles for this, it is not clear. So such a demonstration is another stupidity, it is not clear for what purpose," Romanenko said.

It should be noted that in the morning of November 21, Focus wrote about the blow of the Russian Federation on the Dnieper. In the video from the scene, we see six flashes of fire, which beat vertically from above. According to the Air Force, the enemy used one ballistic missile, which was divided into six parts. The western district of the regional center was shot, the center of rehabilitation of people with disabilities, several dwellings and garages suffered, the mayor of Dnipro Filatov said.
