Baits for deception. The Armed Forces appeared American ADM-160 Mald-the media

As the LNR's representation in the CCCC stated, two winged Storm Shadow missiles and one ADM-160B Mald air defense missile was used during the Lugansk missile firing on May 12 of the Armed Forces. On Saturday, May 13, a image appeared on social networks, indicating that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have received and already use small false goals of ADM-160 producing US or Mald. The corresponding photo was posted on Twitter as well as in a number of Russian Telegram channels.

The media noted that the fragments of false missiles ADM-160 Mald were found in Lugansk after a powerful shelling. The so-called LNR representation in the CCCC also reported that, according to the specified information, two winged Storm Shadow rockets and one ADM-160B Mald air defense missile was used on May 12 of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces. According to The Drive, all Mald modifications are small winged missiles used to deceive the enemy's air defense, not their kinetic attack.

Depending on the particular variant, these erroneous goals are used to suppress enemy radars or otherwise mislead their operators, "pretending" by a regular plane or winged permeable missile. Baits make them think that threats are approaching from different directions, often distracting attention and resources from real threats. The developers have specially created ADM-160 small size so that one aircraft is enough for massive start.

According to American calculations, the F-16 can hang 4 such "false goals"-on the A-10 assails-immediately 12, on the B-52-up to 16, writes Defense Express. According to the publication, if Kiev really received ADM-160 Mald, then it is a kind of sensation. It would look like at least a logical step and a good complement to the winged Storm Shadow missiles set by Britain.

Pentagon representatives refused to comment on the Drive to the ADM-160B Mald possible supply, citing that they "for reasons of operational security do not comment on the supply of all items transmitted to Ukraine. " We will remind, on May 13 Roszma reported that there was an explosion at the former Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the village of Jubilee Artemivsky district of Lugansk. The building has been based on the building since 2015.
