The Russian Ministry of Defense summarized the battle situation on June 26. Four air-launched hypersonic missiles attacked the Artyom rocket manufacturing factory in Kiev. It was normal to achieve the goal, but something strange happened this time.
The "Dagger" hypersonic missile
The Ukrainian air defense system launched more than 10 anti-aircraft missiles to intercept, including " Beech " and S-300. They did not hit the Russian hypersonic missile , but the "Buk" shot down two S-300 missiles.
The Ukrainian army's air defense system lags behind the Russian army's hypersonic . Not to mention interception, the coordination between the air defense system and is a problem.
Not to mention the backward air defense of Ukraine , even the US military is taboo on Russian hypersonic missiles, which have not yet been installed. Moreover, some hypersonic missiles were originally used to attack surface ships . The imaginary enemy is the aircraft carrier fleet of the United States, and their accuracy is very high.
Fighter aircraft carry "Dagger" hypersonic missiles
These hypersonic missiles come in many models, and many models have different versions. For example, the "Dagger" hypersonic missile is the air-launched type currently used in the Ukrainian battlefield. In addition, there are hypersonic missiles such as "Zircon" and "Pioneer".
With these weapons, the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet has become much more honest. Even if Russia sent ships to support the turbulent Venezuela a few years ago, the United States did not dare to intercept them.
In addition to these hypersonic missiles, the "Iskander" tactical missile system, the "Caliber" cruise missile, and the "Onyx" shore-to-ship missile launched by the "Bastion" system have very high strike accuracy and are already on the battlefield. The strength has been fully demonstrated.
"Onyx" shore-to-ship missiles
In addition, there are an astonishing number of old air-to-ground missiles , tactical missiles , shore-to-ship missiles , cruise missiles. I don’t know if Russia will take them out to clear the inventory. Anyway, Uzbek air defense It is difficult to intercept, and even if it can be intercepted, it consumes the Ukrainian army's remaining air defense force.
For example, the Tu-22M "Backfire" strategic bomber has repeatedly launched the old giant air-to-surface missile KH-22 near the Caspian Sea. If it is not intercepted, it is accurate and powerful. To intercept it, it will consume the remaining air defense missiles.
These missiles are used to bomb Ukrainian military facilities. They are accurate and almost never deviate from the target. The Ukrainian army did not target the hypersonic missile during this interception. One S-300 air defense missile was intercepted by its own "Buk" and then fell into a residential area.
Ukrainian S-300 anti-aircraft missiles
Since April, the Russian military has used these ground-attack missiles, or missiles originally designed to target ships, to attack Ukrainian military factory facilities, refineries, warehouses, and transportation hubs, causing the Ukrainian army to fight in the eastern Ukraine battlefield. There was a severe shortage of heavy equipment and they were completely defeated.
There are very few fixed facilities left. They are often used to attack training centers, troop assembly points, headquarters, etc. Uzbekistan loses hundreds of manpower every day. It will be difficult to fight now.
