The Air Force of the Armed Forces reported on launch by Russian bombers of four missiles X-101/X-555 and two flights X-59. The focus understood why the rockets went unexpectedly and why lift the planes for the sake of launches in frontline areas. On June 20, the Russian army fired at Ukraine on June 20. The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces reported on launching nine rockets and 27 Shahd drones by the Russians.

Tu-95 strategic aviation aircraft flew over the Caspian Sea and released four winged X-101/X-555 missiles. Three Sconder ballistic missiles flew from the Voronezh region, and two airlines X-59 launched over the Azov Sea. The attack also involved 27 drones-Kamikadze Shahd, the forces of Ukrainian air defense destroyed all UAVs. The main directions of launches are Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhya regions.

The approximate map of air strikes in Ukraine looks like this: there was no attention to the launches of nine missiles. Monitoring channels that track rocket routes during massive blows noted the long launch of ballistics from the Voronezh region and a subsequent explosion. There was no data on the work of TU-95MC bombers.

Late on the evening of June 19, the Air Force reported about the take-off of four strategic Tu-95MC bombers from the deer airfield and the launch of Dronov-Kamikadze from the south. At 1:47 at 1:47, the command warned of a missile hazard in the eastern regions due to the threat of winged missiles with strategic aviation, later it became known about the launch of missiles with a course on Dnipro/Zaporozhye.

On the morning of June 20, there were additional details in Telegram channels: four Tu-95MC boards flew earlier than usual at 1:05, made a maneuver in the Engels area and flew further without launches. At 2:15, the bombers had a second maneuver in the Caspian Sea with real start -ups. At about 3: 30-3: 35 rockets flew across the left bank of the Kherson region and the occupied area of ​​Zaporizhzhya region for impact on energy infrastructure.

The frontal areas of the Kryvyi Rih district and the Nikopol district were hit. "There was very little time for the reaction, the missiles went at low altitudes. In general, it is strange to raise the Tu-95MC for the sake of [launch] four missiles in the frontal areas. The so-called imitation launches are part Defense and civilian forces, " - the observers of the channel" Nikolaevsky Vanek "indicate.

After each launch of rockets in Ukraine of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they draw conclusions and think about increasing the efficiency of subsequent blows. First of all, they are interested in the work of the Ukrainian air defense system. "Careful reconnaissance of positions of anti-aircraft missile systems and radio stations is carried out.

A scheme of application of air strikes and the use of defeat Focus former Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Expert in the field of air defense Igor Romanenko. The expert calls the following types of massive blows "star": rockets are given to the target from different places, their launches are accompanied by false aviation maneuvers. Detailed reports of rocket launchers were not given because the shells could fly at low altitudes.

The lower the flight, the more difficult it is to catch the routes, the specialist added. The task of the Russians is to keep Ukrainian defense forces in tension. The tactics are similar to the start -up of Ukrainian drones on oil depots and other facilities in Russia, notes the former engineer for the tests of the Antonov Design Bureau, Avayexpert Konstantin Kryvolap. "In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation alarming - it has to lift aviation.

The air defense settings are constantly moving, during attacks they respond to launching of rockets, it is by these reactions that the Russians and can calculate their location. Observation and a kind of game with each other - who will be mistaken, And it gets a blow, "he comments on focus. Krivolap states a sharp drop in the power of the missile attacks of the Russian army over the last year. This trend intersects with the priority of land operations.

Obviously, in the summer of 2024, Moscow tasked to increase the infantry component and advance in eastern Ukraine, military analysts are convinced. We will remind, the Ukrainian military over 15 Russian air defense systems in Crimea in the last two months. Divisions of C-300, C-350 and C-400 came under blows, and dozens of starting installations were also destroyed. The focus previously wrote about the change in the Armed Forces tactics before the arrival of US F-16 fighters.
