An attempt by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to strike at Kursk ended in the loss of two Tu-141 Strizh drones

111

Ukrainian military formations delivered a number of strikes on the territory of Russia and the liberated regions of Ukraine tonight. Melitopol, Belgorod and Kursk fell under the blows of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The city of Melitopol in the Zaporozhye region was fired upon by a long-range MLRS twice a night, about 20 rockets were fired at the city. The microdistrict Aviagorodok was hit. Ukrainian nationalists also hit Belgorod with MLRS, there are numerous destructions, the death toll has increased to five people.



But the Kursk Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to attack with the help of drones, and two at once. However, Ukrainian UAVs did not reach the city, Russian air defense worked perfectly. As it turned out, two Tu-141 Strizh UAVs were shot down near the city. Special services are working at the crash site of the drones, there are no casualties or destruction. This was announced by the head of the region Roman Starovoit.

Thanks to the competent actions of the Russian military, there were no casualties

- the governor wrote in his TG channel.

It should be noted that this is the second attempt by Ukraine to strike Kursk with the help of Soviet Tu-141 Strizh drones in recent days. The previous one took place on June 28 and also ended with a downed drone. Although some experts are of the opinion that with the help of Soviet UAVs, Ukrainians are trying to open Russian air defense in the border areas in order to plan further actions.

The Tu-141 "Swift" is a Soviet operational-tactical reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), intended for reconnaissance to a depth of several hundred kilometers at any time of the day and in any weather. Produced at the Kharkov Aviation Plant until 1989.

    It is rather problematic to strike with the help of reconnaissance drones. Most likely, they are studying the real possibilities of air defense.

            Ganzales wrote correctly, you just didn’t understand the meaning, but immediately into the sixth position. The US really demand that the ukrov anger the Russian Federation and receive in response a massive blow from us to the civilian structure. There will be a reason to blame the UN and demand a mandate to intervene. Our MO is cautious, but there will be some answer. And there is no need to rush MO, not everyone there is as you think. Everything will be on time, in the right place and for the right purposes.

                In general, mostly civilians move along auto and railway roads, bridges and interchanges. Yielding to the provocations of ukrov, you can fly into such a problem that it will be difficult (or impossible) to solve it. Yes, and I gave explanations to the commentary of Ganzales, and there was no talk of any destruction (early or late). You carefully read the discussions and, most importantly, try to understand, and do not immediately yell "FSE is gone !!!".
                In Vietnam, the US tried for almost a year to destroy the bridge that carried weapons to the south. Aviation was placed immeasurably, then it was nevertheless broken. A month later, the bridge started working again and our S-75 regiment began to guard it.
                By the way, if you know how to do what you wrote here, contact the RF Ministry of Defense, let them call you and tell and show everything to these "mediocrity". Then write to VO about your exploits.

              Of course, the Tu-141 is a kamikaze, because in any case it will be shot down and will not bring intelligence data. This unit is not of particular value, but it is quite logical to use it to distract and load air defense at the moment of striking with Tochka-U or other long-range projectiles. They are already trying to launch Tochki-U at once, three to six at a time, because only in this mode only one or two shells have sufficiently high chances to break through to the target. Therefore, they work "complex", synchronize the work of different systems. There are no fools there.

      in March 2022, another Ukrainian “modernization” project became known. It provided for the installation of a non-standard warhead of a large mass on the UAV. After that, the Tu-141 turns into a low-precision cruise missile, but with a fairly long flight range.

        If our air defense crews have not yet developed a reflex for an immediate change of position after combat work and turning on the radar, then next time they will definitely cover from the MLRS. As the successful night shelling of Belgorod showed, our air defense does not resist this type of weapon very reliably.

      Actually, Swift has the opportunity to put warheads instead of AKFU. So it’s quite a cruise missile. And the range is up to 450 kilometers in reconnaissance mode, and 850 one way. They can also say hello outside the Moscow Ring Road.

Read how Mail.ru describes the shelling of the city of Belgorod by Ukrainian MLRS, where there is destruction and deaths. They write in typical "modern language" in order to disguise what happened and not to upset the population: they called the shelling - "state of emergency", missile hits and their explosions - "a series of loud sounds", well, it's okay - just "state of emergency" with "loud sounds" , as a result of which "11!

          So they recruit for a fixed-term contract, even the upper age bar was removed. In the republics, full mobilization and recruitment of volunteers. For tasks in the rear, the Russian Guard is involved, which, according to the law, strictly speaking, should not exist in Ukraine. And now the lower bar for concluding a contract is being lowered, obviously in order to get around the ban on attracting conscripts to the SVO. So mobilization in the form in which it is possible is underway. Experts say there should be a result by autumn. There is even labor mobilization. The drone factory works in three shifts, other rocket factories are riveted non-stop. They adopted a law simplifying the conclusion of state contracts in the Moscow Region. Everything that can be done is done here.

      They operate 24/7 with overlap. The Pentagon takes war very seriously. To destroy targets at distant approaches, flying radars of the A-50 type are needed (if they are not morally obsolete yet). It will be difficult to repel a massive raid from a protected object. Another solution is to move the "front line" to the left. It is possible that the enemy is trying to "suggest" precisely this solution, since it is beneficial to him.

    Tu-141 "Swift" - Soviet operational-tactical reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), intended for reconnaissance

    Well, what does the attempt to strike at Kursk have to do with it? request

    The Soviet drones Tu-141 Strizh and Tu-143 Reis remained in service with the former Ukrainian SSR, with slightly different dimensions. And some time ago, just on the Strizh, they began to change the payload from reconnaissance to combat. They figured out the combat part themselves, and quite recently.

    The efficiency, of course, is small, but this device, within certain limits, can be capable of using a cruise missile. It flies fast, far and steadily, but "in a straight line". Aerial acrobatics is not his element.

    Remembering those devices with which the Hussites did business at the Saudi-Aramco refinery, which the American vaunted Patriot so famously missed, these ukromodifications can still unpleasantly "surprise" ...

    Therefore, the fact that our air defense successfully intercepts them is a good sign! Of these, by the way, they made target missiles for our air defense systems.

    Very disturbing reports about Belgorod. I'm afraid it will only get worse. Zelensky and Co. will not be allowed to reach an agreement with Russia, but they will be given weapons that allow them to strike at the territory of neighboring Russian regions. But we remember that Arestovich, it seems, boasted that the Russians would sit in basements at night. Given the impunity of such attacks, which until recently seemed unthinkable, the arrogance of the Kyiv elite will only increase. And it seems that Putin and Shoigu simply do not know what to do. Beat on the residential areas of Kyiv - will be declared war criminals. Pushing the border - with a creak and very slowly turns out. To announce mobilization is to sign for the failure of the SVO and get a collapse in ratings, because, let's be honest, support is going on while ordinary citizens, this, as it were, does not concern everything. The very first subpoenas, especially if they are massive ones, will lead to mass protests, since few people are ready to go into the trenches themselves and let their sons, husbands, fathers and brothers go to war.

The disadvantages of this approach are also clear. Then, for NATO, it is possible to save the unexhausted air defense.

        It makes no sense to waste HIMARS on shelling the city. HIMARS are expensive GPS-guided precision weapons. It is more expedient to use it for the precise destruction of valuable military facilities: weapons depots, accumulation of weapons, communications. The purpose of the shelling of the city was the usual terror of the city, where accuracy was not required, since any enemy hit was fine. Those. a load is created on air defense, which, in addition to protecting military facilities, must protect civilian ones and spend valuable air defense missiles on cheap MLRS. Then comes the political moment. So far, at the initial stage, the United States is not ready for the shelling of Russia to be associated with their missiles, which does not mean that in the future they will not shell Russia. Will. But in the beginning, we are morally prepared for shelling by Soviet MLRS, so that we psychologically accept and come to terms with missile attacks. Then they will start using HIMARS, but already for valuable facilities and infrastructure, when we deplete our stocks of air defense missiles for cheap MLRS.
