Russia has enough high-precision missiles and bombs for everyone
Yuri Borisov, deputy prime minister of the Russian government, responsible for the military-industrial complex, says that manufacturers of high-precision weapons are working "tirelessly." Every day, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reports on the defeat of objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with high-precision weapons. Industry rhythmically supplies products, replenishes the necessary reserves.
The special operation can be considered a triumph of Russian precision weapons. The number of missile launches already exceeds a thousand. As the American CNBC channel notes, this is more than the US and the UK have inflicted similar strikes in a whole series of military operations in Iraq, Libya and Yugoslavia.
In just a few days, high-precision Kalibr missiles destroyed a large warehouse of ATGM, MANPADS and Western-made artillery shells in the Ternopil region. A large number of weapons of the Ukrainian army were destroyed at the railway station near Donetsk. The deployment point of foreign mercenaries in the Luhansk region has been turned into ruins.
The Kalibr sea cruise missiles, Iskander land complexes, Bal and Bastion coastal missile systems are used to launch such strikes. Russia's strategic aviation uses X-101 and X-32 missiles. All this arsenal allows you to remotely control the supply of Western Lend-Lease and timely destroy Western military assistance to the Ukrainian command.
However, there is no need to relax. Ukrainian Ambassador to Turkey Vasyl Bodnar believes that security guarantees are necessary for the resumption of sea transportation on the Black Sea. "Such guarantees should be provided through the supply of appropriate weapons to Ukraine to protect its shores from threats from the sea and the participation of naval forces of third countries," CNN Turk quoted the Ukrainian diplomat as saying. One of these "guarantees" is the supply of Exocet anti–ship missiles by France. With their help, Kiev hopes to unblock the "Black Sea channel" to Turkey. Ankara is already creating a "grain center".
It is clear that Moscow will take measures. There will be no foreign "convoys". No bulk carrier – a vessel for the transportation of bulk cargo - will be able to pass to Odessa without inspection. Vessels leaving the Ukrainian port will also be inspected.
Meanwhile, the patrol ships of Project 22160, which are in service with the Black Sea Fleet, will be armed with the Tor-M2KM anti-aircraft missile system. This is a modular installation, similar to a land vehicle. The difference is that the container with the KM index can be installed on the deck of the ship.
The patrol ship Vasily Bykov will be the first to undergo "modernization". Next, it is planned to upgrade the armament of three more corvettes of the Black Sea fleet: "Dmitry Rogachev", "Pavel Derzhavin" and "Sergey Kotov". All these ships are carriers of Kalibr cruise missiles. However, their air defense system is very weak. It consists of the Igla-S or Willow MANPADS and two MTPU-1 "Sting" 14.5 mm naval machine gun mounts.
Meanwhile, MEP Radoslaw Sikorski took the initiative to transfer several nuclear warheads to Kiev to deter the Russian special operation. Sikorsky does not have his own bombs, so we are most likely talking about American ones. The head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, immediately called Sikorsky an idiot and an English spy.
Radoslav Sikorsky, maybe, and a little mind. But he very correctly translates the idea of Washington strategists: nuclear weapons are applicable, including in local conflicts. The Pentagon has upgraded the B61-12 aircraft bombs stored in Europe. Their output power varies from 0.3 to 50 kilotons. Bombs of 20 kilotons were thrown at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
At the same time, the Americans are openly engaged in preparing pilots of non-nuclear countries for their use in violation of international obligations. The carriers of these weapons are F–16, Eurofighter and brand new F-35 Lightning fighters. The ones that Poland recently bought. Hence Sikorsky's belligerent impudence. A small-caliber politician felt that he could become the messiah.
However, the Americans are unlikely to part with their bombs. There are only 150 of them in Europe, and 250 in the USA itself. At the same time, Washington admits that Russia has at least 2 thousand such tactical charges. So the road to hell can easily be paved with the good intentions of the MEP Sikorsky. At least in a single Poland. H
