It is interesting that the occupation resources, without even hiding, came to the conclusion that the outlines of the rocket are too reminiscent of P-800 "Onyx". To be honest, I cannot disagree with them. Yesterday, after analyzing the video, I concluded that the outlines of this rocket do not belong to either 9m723/728 OTRC "Iskander-M", or to its aerobalist variation "K", neither to X-101/55 or CRMB "Caliber" and Moreover, it is not PAC-3 of Patriot Patrio, but here to P-800 . . .
But there were still doubts. Doubts were due to the fact that P-800 "Onyx" is used by coastal anti-ship complexes "Bastion". That is, it is primarily an anti -ship rocket, although it is able to strike on the surface. And yet, the factor of PKR was embarrassed. However, it seems that the Russians really decided to apply the P-800 to strike in Kiev, given that the X-47M2 "dagger" was a fiasco, "Iskander-M/K" similar. Is it possible to break through Kyiv's air defense? They tried . . .
The result is said to be obvious. More precisely - on video. If you look at the published video carefully, it can be seen that the rockets damaged the back, that is, its power plant was damaged and P-800 fell into the Dnieper without flying to the building. This only confirms the fact that Onyx failed to break through our air defense.
But still… But still the question arises, and why did it be necessary to bother and pull the Bastion BRK to the border with Ukraine? Why not use for an attempt to break through aircraft of 20 "Iskander", 30 "daggers", well or 50 "calibers"? And it seems that they are not available in such quantities. The occupiers have tried to experiment with the substitution of the scarce rocket component with those tools that have not recently been not particularly used because of the low need.
That is, Kyiv will now be fired at anti -ship missiles? Probably. Again, these conclusions are made in the form of an empirical method that requires confirmation of officials. I do not exclude that in the process of regular attacks in Kiev, there could be an error with the installation of a rocket nomenclature, P-800 or P-500, too similar and problematic identification.
