Successful strikes were carried out on decision-making centers
Ukraine managed to inflict several sensitive blows on the positions of Russian troops using Western weapons with a long range.
“Ukrainian missiles and artillery have already struck our decision-making centers several times. With results. The centers are small but important. I don’t write here where, when, how much, and who. So as not to give away military secrets. Those who are in the know will understand... But my question is simple: when will this nonsense end? Can you fuck up the military-industrial complex so that we finally have preventive “stuff”?!” – without hiding his emotions, military correspondent Alexander Sladkov, who works in the Donbass, writes in his blog.
The data on the successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is also confirmed by the former Minister of Defense of the DPR Igor Strelkov.
“Apparently, Russian air defense systems, which were relatively (very relatively) able to cope with attacks using Tochka-U and Uragans, turned out to be ineffective against massive attacks by Hymers missiles. Today Shakhtersk is burning and detonating again. Stronger than last time.
Over the past 5-7 days, over 10 large artillery and other ammunition depots, several oil depots, about a dozen command posts and approximately the same number of personnel locations in our near and deep rear areas were hit. As well as several air defense positions and artillery positions. There were heavy losses in personnel and equipment,” Strelkov said in his blog.
Former deputy of the Odessa City Council, military correspondent Igor Dimitriev, reported a strike on the location of the Russian Guard in Kherson on Sunday.
Deputy Minister of Information Daniil Bezsonov points out one detail:
“Our fighters noticed new tactics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which sometimes bring results. First, the enemy fires two salvos of Uragan MLRS at the selected target to defuse our air defense, and after that fires a salvo of more expensive and accurate Hymers MLRS missiles.
Russian military expert Vladimir Orlov explains that the Russian Federation has an insufficient military constellation of reconnaissance satellites, unlike the United States, and this does not allow it to quickly identify Western installations for their destruction.
“They often ask me whether our army really cannot preventively destroy these long-range missile launchers that the West supplies to the Kyiv regime. The answer is, maybe, but depending on the circumstances.
That's when these gifts from the West for the Armed Forces of Ukraine are in hangars or distribution points, for repairs, on trains, then yes. That’s when the magical “Caliber” flies to them and turns them into scrap metal, all over the territory of the former Ukraine.
But when these installations roam and are hidden during the day in closed positions, then we have a certain problem with this...
Here's a thought experiment. Ask yourself a simple question: what kind of car is currently standing at a traffic light, say, 40 kilometers away from you. Moreover, you must say exactly which lane of the road, what color it is and who is driving in it. Can you answer this question without visually observing this intersection?
With these long-range rocket launchers in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the same garbage. In order for them to be quickly destroyed before they could strike, such a problem must be solved every time, and in real time.
At one time, in order to solve this problem more successfully, the Americans launched a lot of different reconnaissance satellites into space and created data transmission networks. They really put a lot of money and resources into this. Therefore, today they can solve this problem, not without problems, but quite quickly and accurately, but we have to solve this problem the old fashioned way. So to speak, using the old-fashioned method.
This is also, of course, possible, but it is less effective and less fast. Therefore, I said, I say and will say that now the most important task for our state is not new tanks, not analogues of Maviks, although they are also needed, but the creation of a new operating environment for national security, which should include multi-domain integration, field virtualization combat, artificial intelligence and predictive control, multi-satellite reconnaissance, control and data transmission systems,” Orlov lists.
Meanwhile, senior adviser to the US Congress Paul Massaro has already stated that Ukraine should be allowed to strike military targets in Belarus and Russia, including “occupied Crimea.”
