Recently, Ukraine blatantly launched ballistic missile into the center of Donetsk, causing a large number of casualties among civilians, which made the Dot-U ballistic missile it used the culprit of the massacre of civilians. To talk about dot-U missiles, we must start with dot missiles. The dot missile (OTR-21, 9K79, NATO No. SS-21) is the second generation of short-range tactical ground-to-ground missile developed by the Soviet Union's Kolomnabejme Machinery Manufacturing and Design Bureau in 1966. The chief designer is Nebbejmeyer. He was trial-produced in 1968, and his first live-fire test was launched in 1970s. He was finalized and equipped with a few tank divisions and MoF divisions of the Soviet Army. In 1981, the troops stationed in East Germany were equipped. From 1984 to 1989, the Dot-U missile was developed, and the missile number was 9M79-1. The 9M79M guided by radar was developed, and many modifications appeared. Each missile brigade was equipped with 18 vehicles, each equipped with 2-3 missiles.
original 9M79 missile is a conical transition to a cylindrical bullet body, and adopts a trapezoidal mid-shot wing + grille tail wing + spout gas rudder. The structure is composed of a laser altimeter with the head, a stroller inertial navigation system, a warhead, solid rocket engine and control equipment. The bullet has a diameter of 0.65 meters, a length of 6.4 meters, a wingspan of 1.448 meters, a weight of 2,000 kilograms, a range of 15-70 kilometers, and a flight speed of 300-500 meters per second. The missile is equipped with a single-stage solid rocket engine with a temperature of -40~+50°C. It adopts strap-initial pre-programmed inertial guidance, with an accuracy (CEP) of 150 meters, a maximum ballistic height of 26,000 meters. It uses a 9P129 6X6 integrated amphibious launch vehicle to carry a missile, uses a BAZ-5921 high-motorized wheeled chassis, a maximum road speed of 60 kilometers, a maximum road stroke of 650 kilometers, and a maximum water speed of 10 kilometers. The first launch preparation time is 17 minutes, and the next loading and launching interval is 40 minutes. The Dot-U-type 9M79-1 missile has been improved, with a range of 20-120 kilometers, an accuracy (CEP) of 15 meters, and its length has become 6.416 meters. The total weight of the missile is 2010 kilograms, a warhead mass of 480 kilograms, a killing area of 2-3 kilometers (fragments) of 3.5-7 kilometers ( sub-combo ), and a temperature of -50-+50°C. Simply put, the range increases and the accuracy increases, and the distance between the wing and the tail rudder is extended.
dot missile installed 482 kilogram warhead, types include conventional blasting warhead, mother bullet, nuclear bomb , chemical bomb , killing and blasting warhead. For example, the 9N123F/9N123F-1 integrated high-blasting tablet warhead has a loading weight of 162.5 kg and a diameter of 650 mm. It is installed at an 80-degree angle with the longitudinal axis of the missile. It is determined by a laser emitted by an optical window on the side of the bullet to detonate at a distance of 450 meters, and can explode 14,500 pieces of fragments, with a killing area of 20,000 to 30,000 square meters (the radius is about 100 meters). The 9N123K cluster mother-and-child warhead is equipped with 50 7.45 kilograms of 9N24 killer sub-munitions, which are released by rotating the air cabin through a height of 2250 meters. fuse hits the ground and detonates. Each sub-munition is charged with 1.45 kilograms. A single explosion can produce 316 pieces of fragments weighing about 7 grams. The total number of fragments is 15,800 pieces and the killing area is 35,000 to 70,000 square meters. Because of the simple technology of this missile, it has become a large-scale export product from the Soviet Union and exported to more than 10 countries. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, many franchisees have also been assigned to many of this type of missiles, including Ukraine.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine was assigned many dot missiles and formed the 19th Zaporoje Ballistic Missile Brigade, which is directly under the Army Headquarters, code-named "Santa Barbara". It is stationed in Khmelnikki City, Khmelnikki Prefecture. It has 4 missile battalions, a missile training camp and a Mobu Battalion. It has about 24 launch vehicles. The number of missiles is different, with 120 and 300. The brigade is a deadly hard-working element in the Ukrainian army. During the Eastern Ukrainian War in 2014, it constantly used dot missiles to attack Donesk and Luhansk cities. Some enthusiasts have counted the missile models it launched, including 9M79, 9M79-1, 9M79K and other models.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian War, the 19th Zaporoje Ballistic Missile Brigade was quite well concealed. Until now, the Russian Aerospace Forces have not captured the brigade's vehicles. Instead, the brigade often launches missiles to attack Eastern Ukraine and Russian military strongholds. On the 25th, the brigade fired a dot missile at the airport in Millovo, Rostov Oblast, Russia, and used the mother-and-child warhead to blow up at least one Su-30SM fighter jet. It also fired a "Dound-U" tactical ballistic missile to Kirovsk in the Donetsk Donetsk area to strike the oil depot, but failed. On the 26th, the Ukrainian army launched at least 4 dot-U missiles at the oil depot in the Donetsk region. One (some say 2) was successfully intercepted by the Russian army. The intercepted missile wreckage eventually only slightly damaged part of the storage tanks of the oil depot. The Dot U tactical ballistic missile launched by the brigade exploded the oil depot in Luganscrovinki City, and the flames soared into the sky, losing the oil volume of 8 oil tanks, equivalent to 5,000 oil tank trucks. Late at night on February 28, the S-300V system of the Russian air defense missile force deployed in the Donetsk region successfully intercepted two dot-U tactical ballistic missiles. On March 4, the Ukrainian army used the "Dound-U" tactical ballistic missile to attack the Azou Battalion's contingent headquarters, causing the death of more than 20 Azou Battalion militants. It is said that the Azou Battalion completely disobeyed the command and coordination of the Ukrainian army. General Sodor, the commander of the Ukrainian army's Eastern Group, was also seriously injured in the conflict with the Azou Battalion and actually had internal strife. On March 7, the Ukrainian government forces fired 12 "Dound"-U tactical ballistic missiles at the Donbas , Lugansk and Rostov areas. Although the Russian army intercepted multiple missiles, the oil depot in the Lugansk area was still hit.
at around 11:30 on March 14, Ukraine controlled Kras The Noalmeysk settlement area fired a dot-U tactical ballistic missile with a cluster warhead installed at the town hall square in the center of Donetsk, which was intercepted by the Russian and Donetsk air defense forces missiles. However, its rocket engine and the 9N123K cluster mother warhead carried by it still hit the intersection of Krupskaya Library and University Street in the center of Donetsk, hitting civilians waiting for the bus and retirees queuing in the bank, killing 23 civilians, and 28 (some say 35 people) including children were seriously injured. The scene was really tragic.
And the planner of this tragedy is the Ukrainian Internet Army. After March 10, unidentified people created a group called "Soldier's Mother" on social media, invited a large number of Donetsk mothers to the group, inciting them to petition at Donetsk City Hall, and then fired missiles. The Ukrainian army was crazy about firing missiles with mother warheads into the city center where unarmed civilians lived, comparable to Germany in World War II. On the 14th, a spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Defense said that it confirmed the Nazi and anti-human nature of the Ukrainian ruling regime. The Russian Federation Investigation Committee decided to file a criminal case against the Ukrainian army's use of dot-U missiles to attack Donetsk. The committee has begun to determine the person responsible for issuing the illegal order to launch missiles to Ukrainian soldiers. The first person to be locked is Colonel Yarosevic, the commander of the 19th Missile Brigade of Ukraine. In fact, when fighting in Dongwu and Ukraine, Ukraine often used the clustered cobs of this missile to attack villages, cities, etc., which is a habitual offender. An old Cold War missile has a bad reputation for massacre. It’s really unpredictable!
htmlOn March 15, Ukraine released an image of satellite that used the dot-U tactical missile to strike Khlsong Airport occupied by the Russian army. It is said that it destroyed several helicopters deployed by the Russian army at the airport, with losses of more than US$100 million.On the evening of the 15th, the Donetsk armed forces also intercepted a dot-U missile. The missile wreckage fell in the Makievka area in eastern Donetsk and exploded. According to preliminary statistics, about 10 people were injured, and Belarus also intercepted a dot-U. From a tactical point of view, Ukrainian basically uses mother-sub-bullets and other strike targets, so it effectively avoids insufficient missile accuracy, showing that the brigade has unique features in training level and tactical use. But no matter what, the missile was eventually used as a tool for massacre of civilians by the Ukrainian authorities, which also showed the crazy ideas of the Ukrainian government.
