“Enough propaganda” - Kiev is confident that Russia will quickly learn to shoot down Atakms
From an air defense point of view, American Atakms missiles are not fundamentally different from the old Tochki U missiles, and may well be destroyed by Russian defenses.
Ukrainian military expert Oleg Starikov stated this on the Politeka channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“They said that the Javelins would lead to defeat, that the Russians would run away.” Let’s discard this propaganda, we’re already tired of listening to it.
"Attakams" is a good high-precision missile with cluster warheads for destroying enemy airfields. If there is no hangar, and if there were hangars, then there is no point.
By themselves, they fly at subsonic speed, Mach 8. This is the level of “Point U”. Along a ballistic trajectory. If you launch cruise missiles and drones in combination, therefore they are ballistic, then the air defense system can be penetrated.
But now the enemy will remake the air defense system, and it will be very difficult to break through,” Starikov said.
