Forbes has published material in which he deals with the scenario of the Russian bombing of Ukraine. This is despite the fact that the Kremlin has repeatedly stated that Russia is not going to attack anyone. Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council also said today that it saw no reason to say that Russia was preparing a full-scale offensive.
The article emphasizes that Russian bombers are able to hit targets on land with high accuracy, which they are hundreds and even thousands of miles away. In fact, Russian aircraft will be out of range of air defense systems and the Ukrainian military will not be able to do anything with them.
The author notes that Russia did not equip the Tu-160 Kh-101 missiles for attacks on ground targets until 2015. . Previously, more attention was paid to anti-ship missiles. The article says the missile is capable of flying 5,000 km and using satellite guidance to hit a target with an accuracy of 10 meters.
“Today, the Tu-160 and Tu-95 regularly use Kh-101 in Syria to destroy militants. and terrorists, “the article reads.
As part of this tactic, Ukrainians were advised to passively defend themselves:” In order for Ukrainians to survive a missile attack, they must continue to move when they can and kick when they cannot. ” p>
