Analysis of the night combined attack. Yes, it is unique again. And the main difference from all the previous ones is the launch of Zircons from the north and synchronization with Iskanders.
On May 24, it was all-in, all available missiles that could be launched were flown. But the emphasis was more on the cruise component — all three types of cruise missiles flew, even Iskander-K. And today — the maximum number of ballistics and hypersonics.
Why were there no Kinzhal missiles? Because their task for a long time has been hunting our aviation at operational airfields. Kanyatove or Stare Kostiantyniv were the initial targets to destroy aircraft to reduce the number of cruise missiles shot down. Today, the Kh-101 cruisers were at the very end of the attack, as a bonus. Without any specific task.
The task was most likely given to the new command and planners because it was really visible here: the synchronization of different parts and directions. I tip my hat, they learned, they surprised.
The most surprising was the first-ever use of Zircons, they chased them far from the sea. The hypersonic anti-ship missile worked on ground targets in completely different territory. And if earlier the native place of Zircons was Crimea, where the anti-ship missile complexes are supposed to be stationed, today the appetizers came from the north. That is, they came from Chernihiv.
And they didn’t just work from the north, they also synchronized strikes within half an hour for two waves! On Kyiv, there were 16 Iskander-Ms (4 launchers with 2 full volleys each, with reloading!) and 8 Zircons from different sides — from Crimea and Bryansk region.
I once said that they could overload the air defense by launching 30 ballistics in half an hour at Kyiv. And it happened for the first time. We couldn’t shoot down any Zircons and only 11 of the 33 ballistic missiles.
Zircons from the north flew twice as fast as from Crimea. Up to two minutes and without ascending into the stratosphere — a very steep trajectory due to the short distance. This was really unexpected for our systems and operators.
Regarding the number of ballistics — not all flew at Kyiv. In Kyiv, according to my estimates, there were 24 missiles, and 9 for Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia. And there they used missiles from the S-300/400 complexes, not Iskanders. They can spend a billion dollars on an attack, but much cheaper rockets went to Dnipro. And the distance allows them to use them. That’s why now the whole network is full of photos of the battered asphalt of Dnipro, because it’s not the cluster part of Iskander, but the work of the striking elements of S-300 air defense missiles.
What is the logic behind this attack?
A response for the strikes on oil, it hurts them to read the daily negative comments from the crowd. As one of their propagandists said, they are a country of losers, not a country of menure.
It hurts because of the stagnant front and our successful counterattacks in the past week. The front not only stood but began to turn in our favor.
Therefore, to break the trend, it is necessary to very quickly knock out the PAC-3 missiles for the Patriots. To break through our air defenses and show more footage of burning Kyiv and Dnipro. This solves all the higher problems, because there is always the position of strength left. Even if they have 20 ballistic missiles left, after going all-in, they are obliged to launch them at Ukraine. Because they need to bring us down before their economy or regime collapses due to a new mobilization. Although mobilization will change nothing. They will all go to slaughter without a squeak and complaint.
And we need to stand firm. Even without anti-missile missiles, we can effectively repel everything else — Shaheds and cruise missiles are still shot down at a rate of 90%. And that is incredibly effective.
While the sudden Zircon came from the north, we will find a physical counteraction. We’ve already destroyed one such launcher in Crimea.
And if given missiles — we will shoot them down, as we have shot down all existing Russian missiles before. I emphasize, we know how to shoot down ALL EXISTING Russian missiles.
Look at the street. Despite the smoke and deaths, we stand. We work and do not give up. We have no other option. Either we win, or Russia loses 😉
We hold together 🙂.
