These missiles are the first in their class, developed in Russia since the 1980s, writes Military Watch Magazine based on the Data of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The ability of the hazel rocket to carry nuclear and ordinary warheads, affecting up to six goals, makes it a very formidable weapon. Such a rocket can affect the forces of the Western Bloc throughout Europe, as well as in the depths of the Pacific and Arctic.
Moscow plans to supply Lishchyna missiles to Belarus. Plans to deploy the complex in other countries indicate a significant increase in their production, the authors emphasize. The significant "asymmetrical" value of "hazel", as a means of counteracting much more NATO forces, will cause Russia to expand it in large numbers.
Experts emphasize the likelihood that the increase in the production of "hazel" will occur by reducing the program of release of ballistic missiles of intercontinental range, in particular PC-24 "Yars". In the 2010s, 22 Yars missiles were produced in Russia for a year. Experts have previously noted that the technological characteristics of Russian missiles were unable to change the strategic balance of war with Ukraine.
