Hunting for air defense. The purpose of the night attack of the Russian Federation on Kiev was Patriot - military expert

The Russians are seriously concerned that the Ukrainian capital is now protecting Patriot. Trying to destroy the systems, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation used the most dense attack using valuable aerobalist missiles "dagger", winged "calibers" and UAVs. The Russians used six aerobalist missiles X-47M2 "dagger", as well as the winged "Caliber" missiles and Shahd-136/131 drones, trying to destroy the Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems in Kiev. A serviceman Yuri Kasyanov told this focus.

There is not so much dagger rockets in Russia, it is an expensive weapon that they do not use constantly, " - comments a military expert. Launching six such valuable missiles means that the invaders had a very specific purpose during a night attack on May 16. On the one hand, according to Kasyanov, Russian President Vladimir Putin can still seek the attack of drones on the Kremlin Senate Palace on May 3.

After that, there was one attack by a "dagger" in Kiev, when the probable purpose of the offended Russian leader was the Verkhovna Rada, but even then Patriot eliminated a aerobalistic missile. "I think that [tonight] the enemy was tasked with trying to disable deficient Western air defense. "Information Resistance" notes that the video published in the aggressor country is not Patriot, but another air defense system.

As Kasyanov notes, attempts to use a large number of "daggers" to destroy our air defense are clear. "Any air defense system may be Brapped as a result of the use of a large number of air goals. Indeed, if you run "daggers" and "calibers", then in the same Patriot at some point the missiles will be launched, that is, it will take time to recharge. It is at this point that the "dagger" can fly, - the expert explains.

At the same time, he emphasizes that the Ukrainian military is also understood, so the SCRs should cover each other so that no complex is left without protection. The fact that the Russians are hunting at Patriot in Kiev, says a military expert, an expection of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev. "The Russians understand how a powerful and efficient system is.

And in order to continue to shoot a peaceful city in the future, I mean Kiev, it is extremely important for them to destroy the combat capabilities of the Patriot complex as much as possible," he said on Radio NV. During the attack on May 16, two air anxieties occurred in Kiev with a short break.

Ukrainian publications responded to this report that the Russians could use photos and videos of arrivals that appeared on the Internet (which some users continue to teach on the network, despite all the reservations of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces) and adjust the coordinates. Kasyanov in turn says that to clarify information about the placement of goals, the enemy uses intelligence drones that can track the situation in real time.

"The reconnaissance UAVs are equipped with thermal sensors, thermal imagers, different equipment in order to detect goals such as Patriot and clarify the coordinates," he adds. At the same time, the expert explains that the break between attacks may be associated with another reason - the number of weapons carriers in Russia is not so large, with the same fighters just need time to take another party of missiles on board.
