For a long time they will not be able to attack Ukraine: Ignatus evaluated the consequences

At the same time, he said, in good condition there were about half of such aircraft in service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and the damaged boards will not be able to carry out combat missions for a long time. He told about it in an interview with "Ukrainian Truth", published on June 3.

Ignat noted that among the more than 40 affected by the Security Service of Ukraine, there are different types of damage: some planes have burned out or damaged forever, others can still be restored. However, for a long time, they will not be able to carry out combat missions and fire the Ukrainian territory. Of the TU-22m3 aircraft and Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic aviation, 2437 winged missiles X-101, X-555 and X-55, and more than 1916, have launched from the beginning of a spider web.

Only a few pieces were intercepted by the defense, the PS spokesman told. "Because the X-22 rocket is one of the most powerful, it has more than 900 kilograms of the battle part. In addition, it is one of the least accurate missiles. It is called" Aircraft carrier killer, "because the appointment is to attack aircraft carriers. The enemy was repeatedly attacked by the Milionic cities. Ignatius.

The spokesman said that Tu-160, Tu-95 or TU-22M3 were manufactured in the USSR, and not all of them could perform tasks. According to the calculations of the Armed Forces, shelling is carried out just more than 10 Tu-95 aircraft and probably Tu-160. "They can take up to 8 rockets under the wing if it is Tu-95. Tu-160-more. But they do not take this load, because there is a limited missile limit for use. They can't release everything in Ukraine immediately," Ignat said.

According to him, out of 19 Tu-160 occupants were in good working order about 10-12, out of 57 TU-95-about 36, and about 40 boards could perform tasks out of 100 TU-22m3. "From how much 34% of the Security Service of Ukraine, we do not know for sure. There are not many airfields in Russia that strategic aviation can be concentrated, about four to five. Six maximum. Not every aerodrome can take such large planes, serve and prepare them for departure.

The Air Force spokesman noted that Ukraine receives information on the preparation of aviation strikes from alliance partners on the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO), so it is time to bring the Air Defense forces into increased readiness. According to him, there is no unambiguous signals that strategic aviation may be an attack in the near future.

However, Russia still has enough means for rocket attacks, so the forces of defense and civilian citizens should be as careful as possible, Ignat recalled. SBU drones attacked 4 Russian military airfields on June 1. The sources of focus in special services reported that during a special operation under the name "spider web" the Russians caused losses of more than $ 2 billion. More than 40 aircraft, including A-50, Tu-95 and TU-22 m3, have been reported.

In the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, they called attacks by drones of airbaz in several regions of a "terrorist act" and reported "ignition of several units of aviation equipment". SBU Chairman Vasyl Malyuk announced the results of the Web on June 2 and said that during the operation, 41 enemy aircraft, including A-50, Tu-95, TU-22 m3 and Tu-160, were affected during the operation.

Under the blow of the drones were the Russian airfields "Belaya", "Diaghilevo", "Olenya" and "Ivanovo". The baby claimed 34% of the strategic carriers of winged missiles at the main airfields of Russia's base airfields, and the aggressor country's losses, he said, reached more than $ 7 billion. The movement of the Freedom of Russia stated that he participated in the attack of drones on the airfields of the Russian Federation.
