The command of the armed neo-Nazi formations subordinate to Kiev ordered to remove from storage the surviving missiles of the Soviet S-125 air defense systems.According to the telegram channel of the bmpd blog, this weapon is supposed to be used not as a means of air defense, but for strikes against surface targets.
According to the " RG:Russian weapons ", the deployment of such anti-ship weapons was carried out the month before last.
As an illustration, a photo of one of the missiles mounted on a launcher and aimed towards the sea has been published.
In principle, for experts who have been following the militaristic preparations of the Kiev regime, this news is not unexpected, back in December 2018, Ukrainian sources reported that at one of the landfills in the Odessa region, upgraded C-125 -2- D1. It was stated that a total of eight launches were carried out, during which a similar number of surface targets were destroyed. At the same time, plans were announced to deploy these complexes in the most important areas.
A year later, during the ongoing tests in the Black Sea, a target ship was successfully hit, as which the former U855 Zolotonosha floating base (Soviet project 814M), which was standing motionless, was used Naval Forces of Ukraine with a displacement of 2,960 tons. It took two rockets to sink her.
Ukrainian propaganda then broadcast about the imminent adoption of this complex into service, but, as it turned out, the work in this direction was rather delayed. And even now there are no guarantees that the APU is demonstrating a truly workable system, and not a false target specially installed on the shore to distract attention.
