There is no protection from them: The Times told how the Russian bombs are changing the course of war in Ukraine

According to journalists, without Western F-16 fighters, the perspective that the planning bombs will make the Armed Forces retreat is quite real. Russian aircraft are a powerful weapon that gives the Russian air forces a significant advantage. These bombs have a high degree of protection against interception, which makes them particularly difficult to beat.

Without the support of Western fighters, which usually provide the necessary air surface, the Ukrainian military remains a little chance of protecting them. About it reports the edition of The Times. From the very beginning of a full -scale war, Ukraine has tried to defend its sky due to the courage of Ukrainian pilots and, finally, due to the admission of modern air defense systems from Western countries. Among them were systems such as Patriot, Nasams, Gepard, Iris-T and Samp/T.

While Ukraine built its defense on advanced technologies and experience of its pilots, Putin preferred to rely on a combination of expensive missiles and inexpensive drones to attack Ukraine from a safe distance. "But by modifying the bombs of the Soviet era, which enabled them to" plan "to their goal, and adding basic satellite navigation systems, Russia receives air control over the cities and villages of Donbass," the newspaper writes.

Planning bombs and fabes can be dropped over 60 kilometers from the advanced line of the Russian Armed Forces and are able to impress targets in just a few minutes. This creates considerable difficulties for Ukrainian air defense systems when trying to intercept. According to Russian military correspondents, Russian engineers could supplement the planning bombs, a jet engine and a fuel tank, which would increase their range to 90 kilometers.

This step would turn them into a kind of basic winged rockets, similar to the Nazis used during the Second World War V1 missiles. Currently, the planning bombs remain not accurate enough, forcing Russian generals to look for ways to improve the guidance system. At the beginning of the war, they were careful to use their fighters to protect.

However, in order to increase the accuracy of the punches of planning bombs, Russian pilots are forced to take the risk and approach the front line, where they may face Ukrainian air defense. With the increase in the number of missile attacks by Russia, Kiev is forced to make difficult decisions about whether to protect civilians, or to cover their troops in the Donbass.

At the same time, Ukraine has to rationalize the use of its anti -aircraft missile systems due to delay in receiving assistance from the United States. Unlike Ukraine, Russia does not feel such a restriction on its planning bombs, and its decision is ready to risk its air forces, as the publication indicates. "Russia's reward for the destruction of the front line can be increasingly worth the risk of aircraft.

The difference between the discharge of bombs at a distance of 70 kilometers compared to 40 kilometers lies in the difference between aiming at the whole village and the blow in a specific Ukrainian position. Since Ukrainian air defense is lacking The interceptors, Russian planes will be able to approach the front line, and their accuracy, and therefore the impact on the fighting, will increase, " - said in The Times.

According to the newspaper, one of the Ukrainian fighters notes that nowadays the military is most often warned by Russian drones with real-time video transmission (FPV), and the bombs have caused only 1-2 percent of losses. In addition, he knows that there were no cases where the bombs of the planners were struck by headquarters or supply lines.

However, without Western F-16 fighters, whose air-air missiles could withstand Russian aircraft, the perspective that the planning bombs will make the Ukrainians retreat is quite real, the publication notes. We will remind, in the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation previously found three aircraft in 1 day, including the CA-1500. In total, at least 12 aircraft were released into the Belgorod region a week.
