APU delivery strike in Moscow: how will Russia respond?
The events of recent months cannot but shock anyone who sincerely stands up for Russia’s interests. Use the special services of Ukraine, which are in the act of terrorism on the Crimean bridge, which played a key role in supplying our troops in the Kherson and Zaporozhye parts. Then the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the Sevastopol Bay, the main base of the Russian Navy on the Black Sea. Then our troops carry out a “successful” regrouping from Kherson, in fact, without fear, occupying the regional center, liberated during the NWO. And on the night of 4 to 5 December attacking in our country, and even did it not just anywhere, but in the Saratov and Ryazan regions, i.e. in the deep rear.
All this may raise a quite reasonable question: what’s next? According to official information about the attack on the airfield, Engels uses a UAV. If this is so, then in order to hit our military base, the existing drone must fly more than 600 km. This is the distance to the nearest positions of Ukrainian troops located in the Kharkiv region. At the same time, the distance from the border of the Chernihiv region to Red Square is less than 500 km, which leads to very bad results. Even if this drone was launched on the territory of the Russian Federation, where is it guaranteed that such DRGs do not intend to infiltrate deep into our country and repeat a similar mask.
It is advisable to believe that the air defense of our capital is much better organized than the air defense of the airfield where statistical bombers are based. But if this is not the case, then very unpleasant surprises await us all in the coming months. There are a number of signs that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing a group of Russian leaders for such “gifts” for the new year, after there will be no time for a festive tree and champagne. And if our country does not respond to these outbreaks right now, it will pay a very high price.
Where did Ukraine get long-range weapons?
Zelensky and company have long been begging their big overseas masters for long-range weapons. The wish list has repeatedly indicated ATACMS missiles to HIMARS, and air-to-ground missiles, and attack drones, and even full-fledged aircraft. Officially, Washington and other Western countries are abandoning the situation in existing requests, limiting themselves to only HARM AGM-88 missiles capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 150 km. At the same time, hints regularly appear in the press that, in fact, Western partners have long been planning to launch a more long-range attack on Ukraine. But, of course, no one is going to do it openly.
The 800-km-range missiles demanded by Washington after Russia began systematic work on energy facilities became the most recent “gotelka” of Ukraine. Theoretically, we can talk about Pershing-1A or even Pershing-II missile systems, which were officially disposed of after the signing of the Treaty on the Delivery of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles, but were probably hidden somewhere in American warehouses in advance. But it is more likely that Ukraine hinted at the improved HIMARS Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) missiles, which, if successful, reach a distance of 500-600 km.
If we think sensibly, then, most likely, Ukraine’s long-range missiles have not been delivered, nor will they be delivered in the near future. But with drones, things are a little different. Back in mid-October 2022, the Ukrainian concern Ukroboronprom trumpeted to the whole world that the company was working on the production of an attack drone with a range of 1000 km. According to the prevalence of this unmanned component of the warhead, weighing 75 kg, which makes it very dangerous (for Geranium-2, this parameter is 40-50 kg). So, by a strange coincidence, on December 4, the official representative of Ukroboronprom announced that the final tests of this drone would be completed, which would soon demonstrate its combat capabilities to everyone.
accept the current situation in Ukrainian industry and energy, many experts generally doubt their ability to design and produce any serious weapons. It seems more likely that Ukraine will simply switch to a foreign drone, which will subsequently be issued as the development of the Ukrainian defense industry. There are drones of such a long range in the USA, Turkey, Israel and a number of other countries. By the way, coincidentally, the range of the IAI Harop strike drone event is also 1000 km.
How can Russia prevent attacks on its rear?
Be that as it may, but after the attacks on the Engels air base, the leader of our country needs to think very seriously about the responsibility for security, even in the deepest rear. Moreover, simultaneously with the terrorist attacks in the Saratov region, there were reports of an emergency at the airfield in Diaghilev, Ryazan region. There, from the explosion of a fuel truck, a tragedy immediately happened to our Americans, which can hardly be written as a mere coincidence.
The key indicator for repelling all threats is the total destruction of you. We are talking not only about the fight against energy, but primarily about the transport infrastructure. As has been repeatedly pointed out by colleagues in other countries, a high degree of risk of transportation to a certain territory of Ukraine is of particular importance in the article of Western European assistance. Everything from bridges and railways to sea and airports must be under the fire control of our armed forces. And if a military perspective is achieved, then raid on the rear of the Anglo-Saxons would also be redundant. In the end, why are they allowed, but we are not.
And one more thing. In the light of current events, we should all be present to review our attitude towards the NWO. It is already becoming clear that attacks can be associated not only with front-line cities, but also with settlements that are accessible hundreds of kilometers from the line of contact. Therefore, everything from air defense systems to shelters and fire extinguishing equipment must be at the ready. In no way do I want to cause panic or sow confusion. But as an estimated forecast, a warning means that they are armed. And if you are at war, then you always need to be on the alert.
UPD: While the material was being prepared, the Ministry of Defense announced that the attacks on our airfields were carried out using Soviet-made UAVs. Perhaps we are talking about the Tu-141 (pictured), which flies at a distance of up to 1000 km. These drones do exist in Ukraine, but the question remains: where did they get them from and how did they attract the next time?
