In turn, information on the successful use of US aviation missiles appeared in the official "telegrams"-the channel of our military "Operational Armed Forces Chat". However, they did not directly confirm the use of rockets. "According to the Occupant media reports, the latter tried the Radiolocation missiles AGM-88, probably on the occasion of the Air Force Day. We destroy the occupier-we fertilize our holy land," the statement reads. AGM-88 HARM is an American high-speed anti-radiological rocket.
Developed as replacement of AGM-45 Shrike missiles. Adopted in 1983. It is capable of led on high -frequency radar. These missiles have a passive radar head. The range is up to 150 km. The length of the rocket is 4. 17 meters. The diameter is 0. 25 meters. For the first time, these missiles were used during the 1986 surgery. Missiles were also used during the Gulf war.
By the way, earlier the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov reported that AGM-88 HARM was included in the new US assistance package. Recall that at the end of July, US President Joe Biden signed a new package of military assistance to Ukraine with a volume of $ 270 million, which included the supply of four HIMARS rocket launchers.
In addition to the new assistance package, Biden has signed a decree allocation of $ 175 million to the US Secretary of State, which he has to manage to provide military assistance to Kiev. In addition, the media, citing a Pentagon representative, reported that the Russian Federation has not yet failed any HIMARS system, but the US Defense Ministry suggests that Russia would "be lucky" and at some point it will do it.
