The airports are threatened: what will turn to the Russian missiles at the Russian Federation - isw isw

According to analysts, the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces on Russian logistics or aviation means in deep rear regions will have prompt importance. The Armed Forces with the help of long -range ATACMS missiles will be able to aggravate Russian logistics, as well as jeopardize the invaders' airfields in the rear. Analytics of the Institute for War Study (ISW) are given this opinion.

The report of April 24 states that it is also likely that the months of delayed American assistance have enabled the Russians to prepare. According to analysts, Ukraine first used the US missiles provided by the United States for the defeat of Russian goals in the occupied territory on October 17, 2023, causing shocks in the airfields in Berdyansk and Lugansk. The Ukrainian forces were probably sought to disrupt the support of the offensive efforts of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

However, Ukraine did not have enough ATCMS. It is reported that versions of ATACMS missiles with cassette ammunition make it possible to strike more effective shocks in airfields and to widely destroy planes and other facilities located there. Such actions can induce Russian troops to transfer planes further from the front line. However, the greatest harm will cause helicopters, because they have a shorter flight range.

Analysts have said that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is actively using planes to strike with planning bombs throughout the front line. The removal of aircraft further from the front line can have a slightly effect on the bomb. In addition, as noted in ISW, ATACMS missiles can attack Russian ammunition depots in the rear areas. Then the command of the forces of the invaders will be elected between the fortification of existing warehouses and the subsequent dispersion of them.

However, it is likely that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation prepared for such development. According to analysts, the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces on Russian logistics or aviation means in deep rear regions will have prompt importance. This also requires that the defense forces successfully coordinate air attacks with ground operations. Recall that the Pentagon confirmed the use of the Armed Forces of Triple ATACMS.

According to US Defense Ministry Representative Charlie Dzes, the decision to grant Ukraine ballistic missiles was made at the instructions of President Joe Biden. The rockets were sent to the security reasons. At the same time, the Kremlin began to threaten to expand the "sanitary zone" in Ukraine through the supply of ATCMS.
