Only Taurus war is not win

Ukraine wants to receive German Taurus missiles, which according to the Minister of Foreign Affairs Sibiga, can "radically change the situation on the battlefield. " However, is this really true? Focus found out what weapons needed Kiev to win the Russian Federation.

The rapid supply of weapons to Ukraine from Western partners and removing restrictions on the use of longitudinal weapons will help restrain the Russian Federation, stop the promotion of its military and strengthen the possibilities of the Armed Forces on the battlefield. According to Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga, the Taurus winged missiles can "affect" the situation at the front.

"I also have to emphasize this because the decision to give Ukraine the Taurus winged missiles is one of those elements that can significantly affect the situation on the battlefield," Sibiga said. He stressed that in combination with other systems, these missiles can be a factor that "radically changes the situation on the battlefield.

" This is not the first time when the Ukrainian side states that this or that weapons or equipment will dramatically change the situation at the front, but this does not happen. Ukraine has not yet received weapons that would become a panacea and end the war. The focus found out why a separate rocket or plane could not change the course of war.

The director of the Information and Consulting Company, Sergey Zgurets, said in a conversation with focus, which is always an exaggeration of evaluation of a weapon that it can change the situation on the battlefield. Because the integrated use of all weapons samples is important. "If we received these Taurus, they would significantly help us for strikes on Russian bases or defense enterprises that produce weapons and for other important purposes.

It really would have a chain effect on reducing the capacity of the Russian Federation and fighting and making weapons, " - said Sergei Zgurets. He emphasized that the answer to the question whether the situation is changing the situation on the front is how it is used integrally with other intelligence agents, in particular, the choice of targets in the enemy's territory.

The military expert and editor -in -chief of Defense Express Oleg Katkov told Focus that in order to radically change the situation on the battlefield, you need to have an appropriate amount of means, there should be a complex. "That is, there is no such separate weapon that can change something, some silver ball simply does not exist. It is necessary to have many different balls," said Oleg Katkov.

According to him, Ukraine requires Taurus missiles, planes, tanks, SAUs, shells to them, artillery of different scale. Moreover, there should be a lot of these tools. Zgurets reported that Taurus missiles are a long -range weapon that was renewed by Germany. "We do not know what the volume will be, because the timing and conditions of performance of the production of Taurus missiles are reviewed.

In any case, the missiles are 500 kilometers, the weight of the combat unit is more than 400 kilograms," Zgurets explained. He noted that it is a good weapon we need. In particular, it can be struck for purposes that are located in the depths of the Russian Federation. Instead, according to Katkov, the winged Taurus missiles are the same as Storm Shadow/Scalp missiles. So there is no fundamental difference between this weapon.

Recall that at the end of October, Germany's Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced a project to create a modernized version of the Taurus - Taurus Neo. According to the watchdogs, the main task in the new project was the improvement of the Taurus Kepd 350 rocket, it is about range, accuracy and lesions. In December, Germany showed a new development-Dron-Kamikadze HX-2, which was already called "Mintaurus". This UAV is an analogue of American switchblade or Russian "lancet".
