The loss of TU-22M3 will not reduce the shelling of Ukraine, but the loss of C-400 is shameful for the Russian Federation-Sharp (video)

There are few such aircraft in the Russian Federation and it is no longer possible to build new aircraft, but the occupiers will simply be more cautious. There is no excess of modern air defense systems in the Russian Federation, although there were no obstacles to Storm Shadow missiles, says military observer David Sharp.

The fact that according to the statements of the Air Force of Ukraine, the Russian strategic bomber TU-22M3 was shot down, not fallen due to technical problems, will not radically reduce the shelling of Ukrainian cities. Of course, not many such aircraft in the Russian Federation and it is no longer possible to build new aircraft, but the occupiers will simply be more cautious. In an interview with the focus, a military observer David Sharp told.

He noted that such bombers are carriers of the X-22 missiles with a range of more than 600 km, so the planes will now run them away from the Ukrainian border. The fact is that the C-200 system, which was shot down by this aircraft, has a range of less than the rocket range, and to place air defense near the border, also not should not substitute it under the impact of the Russian army.

"Of course, when it comes to resetting the booth, then the winnings will be on the side of the Armed Forces," the expert says. " As for the impact on the C-400 Russian invaders in Crimea, according to Sharp, it is a great success of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. And it is also interesting that this rocket complex should not only protect the important object, but also protect itself from the attack. "So quickly such a hole in the air defense of the Russians do not close," emphasizes David Sharp.

- Of course, there are still divisions in Russia somewhere, but they have been transferred to the front of the front line, and therefore have to shoot and translate some division by arranging there. gap in air defense. " The expert notes that there is no excess of modern air defense systems in the Russian Federation. Although even those that could not be a barrier to the use of Storm Shadow missiles running from Ukrainian Su-24.
