The PCS of the Russian Federation is taken to the Black Sea of ​​MiG-31 with "daggers": how it will affect the military threat to the regions of Ukraine

Patrolling of neutral waters by Russian fighter jets, increases the level of threats to the peaceful cities of Ukraine. The Armed Forces will have to strengthen the protection of important military facilities. There is also a danger for Europe - not its entire territory is closed by Patriot complexes. The air-space forces (PCS) of Russia will regularly patrol the neutral waters of the Black Sea with Mig-31k fighters, carriers of aerobalist missiles X-47 "Dagel".

Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a press conference in Beijing on October 18 that such a decision was not a threat. The Russian dictator said that the decision to patrol was made through actions of the United States, which "more and more involved in the Middle East conflict, launched two airugctions into the Mediterranean. " The Ukrainian military warned about the danger of such an hostile step.

Russia can beat the "dagger" missiles on Ukrainian ports and finally displace Ukraine from the "grain agreement", says Natalia Humeniuk, a spokesman for the South. There is no extraordinary activity of carriers of "daggers" yet, but threats of aerodynamic rockets can go to other regions, she added. "If we said earlier that they tried more to attack [" daggers "] the capital and threaten directly, according to their parameters, the decision -making center, now . . .

can be under blows and ports," Humeniuk emphasized. The speaker of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Yuri Ignat is more optimistic and believes that the patrol of the Black Sea will not change the situation. The Russian army threatens different types of weapons daily. "Daggers" can run around Ukraine from north and east, and the Black Sea - only one direction. Putin may seek threatening NATO countries, as they fall into the radius of the X-47 missiles.

Western countries, according to Ignati, can raise their aviation to intercept Russian fighter jets in the neutral waters of the Black Sea. The strikes from the Black Sea can be applied to any Ukrainian region, and there are not many protected areas. Patriot complexes may stand in Kiev and other cities and regions are not covered, says focus a military expert Pavel Narozhny. "The Russians produce not many rockets X-47-a month up to 7 pieces.

It is more about threats to Europe, the distance of the target is up to 3 thousand kilometers. It cannot The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is free to get to Poland, "he commented. The front situation will not change, but the protection of important objects - aerodromes and rocket warehouses - will have to be improved, the expert added.

Director of the Russian Museum of Air Force, retired colonel Yuri Knutov seriously expects that the planes of the PCS of the Russian Federation with the missiles "dagger" will strike an instant strike on Himars and MLRS installations, from which the ATACMS missiles will launch. If the Armed Forces are launched atacms, Russian aircraft will strike an instant stress in response to the "daggers".

And if you take into account the speed and exact characteristics of the rocket, you can hope for a very quick lesion of the starting installations, Knut said. Naval expert Volodymyr Zablotsky considers extremely irrational to use the Black Sea to launch missiles X-47. The carrier requires a stock of acceleration, and in neutral waters it does not exceed 100 kilometers, he said in a conversation with focus.

"The aircraft will definitely get into the area of ​​operation of Ukraine: NATO aviation complexes of radio training and the guidance of AWACS, as well as drones. It will be very difficult to disperse and launch" dagger ", it is unlikely that they will be in the territory of Ukraine at all," - evaluated the situation. The focus previously wrote about the modernization of the Mig-31 fighter in the MiG-31I version. An improved analogue can automatically run missiles by setting parameters.
