British edition: Russia is trying to deplete Ukrainian air defense by launching missiles without warheads

Russia's stock of cruise missiles is running low, so the Russian military is forced to use missiles designed for nuclear strikes but without warheads. About it writes Reuters with reference to a senior official from the Pentagon.

According to the British publication, Russian troops are forced to use missiles designed for delivering nuclear strikes, but without warheads, to strike at the territory of Ukraine. It is done allegedly in order to force the Ukrainian air defense system to spend such scarce anti-aircraft missiles in this way.

In general, Russia is firing "blanks" to deplete Ukraine's air defenses. At least that's what Reuters writes, referring to an American official. He, too, did not take this information from scratch, as it turned out, the "machinations" of the Russian military were "revealed" by British intelligence. According to the British, the Russian military is allegedly removing nuclear warheads from missiles for strikes on Ukraine. The corresponding conclusion was made on the basis of photographs of the Kh-55 missile, a subsonic air-launched cruise missile developed in the Soviet Union to deliver a nuclear charge.

It is reported that this missile without a nuclear warhead is used to strike critical infrastructure, inflicting damage due to "kinetic energy and fuel residues." It is immediately clear that British intelligence conducted a deep analysis of the use of Kh-55 missiles.

This is, of course, what they are trying to do to mitigate the effects of the air defense systems that the Ukrainians use.

- quotes the publication of the words of an American official.

It is worth noting that Russia has long been using the Kh-555 missile, which is a deep modification of the Kh-55. Unlike the base missile, the Kh-555 is equipped with a cluster warhead or a multi-factorial (high-explosive-incendiary) mass of 410 kg. The Kh-555 missile has been repeatedly used in Syria to strike militants.

Painfully they are slanting at the present time! But when and if "Patriots" appear on U., it will make sense to use "points" to deplete air defense / missile defense.

A couple of months ago, I, almost an absolute amateur in rockets, tried to find out something about rockets here. I scooped up information from a search engine, compared photos. In the photo in the article and in the fact that I found the rockets, even outwardly they were somehow different.
Understanding people explained to me that the photographs I found are 30-40 years old and what I found is very remotely related to what is being produced today as a modification of THAT rocket.

"British experts" once again showed the level of their competence. It seems that, like A.S. Pushkin, the publishers of those times do not pay them for genius poetry "expertise", but for the number of lines. And there... Farted in a puddle He took "expert opinion" from the ceiling, received a fee - and okay. Life is good.

Well, as for the number of missiles - so I, like the majority here, need to do the "Glasgow smile". Laugh-smile at these wet fantasies for so many months, the strength has already dried up.

It's called one big word propaganda!

[Peter1First]

Do not underestimate enemy intelligence. The British always have the most accurate data on Ukrainian losses / and most likely on ours too /, on the location of our troops, warehouses, airfields. They brought the famous abandoned T90M1 to them in Aberdeen and much more from what ours missed. They have a detailed analysis of the electronic filling of our missiles, they were the first to say that we had run out of Geranium-2 / and in fact we really don’t hear about them anymore /. And for specific old women X-55, it is quite possible that it is true. If the rocket is already outdated and is not suitable for carrying nuclear weapons, it is difficult to remake it for a land mine - the specifics are too different - but it’s easy for a blank! After all, launching decoys for enemy air defense is a completely normal and reasonable use of illiquid assets, without them, dummies / target missiles / for the same purposes would still have to be launched.

[Bolt cutter]

The famous abandoned T90M1 was taken to them in Aberdeen

Aberdeen tank training ground - in the USA.

[Postcode]

They themselves have used and are using a similar tactic to suppress our air defense systems, there is nothing seditious in this, the first wave of so-called blanks leaves, immediately after the warhead, more expensive, more accurate, air defense worked on false targets, it takes time to reload. ..Calculating the number of Geraniums delivered / produced is also very simple .... In any case, that experience was the first, it takes time to evaluate it, prepare decisions for further ...

[orionvitt]

Quote from: Peter1First

If the rocket is already outdated and is not suitable for carrying nuclear weapons, it is difficult to convert it into a landmine

Is it difficult to fill with explosives with a banal contact fuse? In my opinion, there is nothing easier. I suspect that this can be done in the "field conditions" (under the supervision of specialists, of course). Simply, in order not to disturb the weight distribution, explosive rockets will carry a little less. Since a nuclear warhead is lighter than a high-explosive one. Otherwise, using an expensive product in the form of a blank, simply as "targets" for air defense, is somehow not reasonable.

If I were them, I would move another topic.
- The Russians specifically use "nuclear" missiles in order to teach these missiles to overcome the missile defense system supplied to the Ukrainians by the NATO countries.
Mine sounds even cooler

[Puler]

British can only be outdone by Estonian ....

[Sevastiec]

I thought, here about decoys, and here again about how Russia is running out of missiles.

[Tagan]

And I'll stand up for British intelligence. But with a little clarification. Ours do not shoot with ordinary blanks, but with rubber ones. They jump like those balls - they manage to trample down ten targets at a time.

[HAM]

Wait, we'll soon switch to rubber bombs ...... they say (English scientists) that they are still jumping in Afghanistan ...

There are three main types of cretins in the world who turn everything inside out. These are British scientists, deputies of the European Parliament and the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine...

.. I have long been tired of writing articles on this topic. The first time was funny. But:
Why did brother kill brother?
-For the old jokes!

Well, this is their kind of Krometny English humor! :)

[Wedmak]

Even if so, why not? A breakthrough of adequate air defense of the Kyrgyz Republic with a nuclear warhead in our time will be a miracle. This will be more effectively done by a ballistic type Dagger or a hypersonic missile. So why not usefully dispose of the remains of the X-55. If they are still there. True, instead of a blank, it is worth putting a bunch of explosives with a primitive percussion fuse, everything will be better.

[dementor873]

It seems to me that 300kg of explosives is the cheapest part of a rocket equipped with wings and a body made of titanium stuffed with electronics with satellite communications, gyroscopes and other stray items and expensive rocket fuel.

[Wedmak]

That's what I'm talking about. Why launch such an expensive target in vain. If you start. Although, judging by the overclocking of the military-industrial complex plants, the consumption of the CD is replenished quite quickly.

[Alexey RA]

Giggle ... I remembered the history of the creation of ALCM: at first, the Air Force wanted a long-range decoy for "half a second" that would distract air defense missiles. But when such a goal was made, it turned out that if you simply add a warhead to it, then it will become an ALCM.

[mitrich]

So not a pig-iron blank, as they say here. That's right, then it's more logical to make a primitive warhead.

[alexandre II]

Do Brits think everyone is stupid? There is no fervent on their head ... supposedly the cost of a rocket is cheap, understand, but the warhead ..... well, stupid ....

[Zoldat_A]

Quote from: alexandre

Do Brits think everyone is stupid?

As I understand it, their "expert" opinion is designed for the Western layman. This means that they actually consider their consumers of their own ideological chewing gum stupid sheep. It's all meant for someone. uh, not on us...

Margarita Simonyan said that, while studying in the senior class of an American school, she wrote the Russian alphabet on the blackboard. American "children" of 17 years old were sincerely surprised that there was some other alphabet in the world, except for the "American".
Here is the level of their "information consumers". Hence the level of "expert opinions".

[Reader 2013]

Well, you have found an authority whom to listen to, Simonyan

I gave the example of M. Simonyan not as an example of the ultimate truth, but as a simple eyewitness account. I can give as many examples as I like from my own observations, I had to observe the American "educational level".

[aleksr2005]

Again, Russia from the West is "forced" to use something there, i.e. because of their weakness, judging by such statements. But if they launched such decoy missiles, then they would have had a MILITARY CLICK.

It seemed to you that they hinted at weakness, but it seemed to me that they praised. After all, they did not draw their own conclusions!

[Leader_Barmaleev]

In fact, "dummies" for depleting air defense were invented about forty years ago and there is nothing special in their use, except that anti-aircraft gunners on the "other side" are tearing their last hair, trying to understand what is flying towards them - a flock of warheads or empty. Such a missile carries foil tapes with weights in the head container, small-sized - smaller than a matchbox - broadband transmitters broadcasting digital abracadabra, cunningly corrugated "glasses" giving illumination like from a warhead, and much more, which significantly complicates the life of air defense fighters and makes them fire missiles into the white light. And try not to shoot, so a real rocket will fly in and offend everyone greatly. And what did you want - in war as in war

[neland]

This "Empty" is designed to reveal the location of the enemy's air defense system and is unlikely to deplete it.

[Leader_Barmaleev]

AWACS systems are used to open air defense lines, and what I wrote about is used precisely as decoys. With such a snag, you can defuse an entire air defense division. And reloading it is not a matter of five minutes - until the TZM arrives, until the missiles are installed and connected - during this time it is possible to bomb out the entire positional area.

[mitrich]

This is the kind of bullshit that needs to be done. Rocket blank, it's money down the drain, the idiot understands, it makes no sense. Apparently, communication with uk.ro.piteks does not lead to good. In americans, the ho.hol of the brain also progresses.

[Mint Gingerbread]

Why not shoot blanks. Psychological pressure is also an element of pressure on enemy forces. The sounds of mopeds are already shying away, who knows whether it will bang or not. As a rule, perception is influenced not so much by the carrier itself, it is practically not seen as the sound that it makes. Best memorable and characteristic.

[dementor873]

Quote: Leader_Barmaleev

that anti-aircraft missilemen on the "other side" are tearing their last hair, trying to understand what is flying towards them - a flock of warheads or a dummy.

Not only do they have missiles to intercept the caliber, but the missilemen of the outskirts already have little hair left on their ass, as you noticed. I'm wondering why 100 mopedshahids are not riveted to the cost of one rocket?

[Cat Alexandrovich]

If in this way we dispose of junk, and even for the benefit of the NWO, so great!

[solar]

Probably, we are talking about practical ammunition for training launches, with a warhead simulator.
You can’t stuff explosives into such a rocket in a hurry, but they probably remained in warehouses.

[topol717]

And what to do with rockets fired 40 years ago?
And so they removed the nuclear head, put the hexagen one and flew. And the plant is already supplying new ones. The United States has been unloading warehouses with old weapons all its life.

Yeah, and everything is so simple there - I took out a container and inserted another one))

Perhaps you are right in terms of "what is it?", but here's some (not necessarily effective) explosive with a primitive fuse - you don't need a lot of time. Another question is that if it is really for pulling air defense, then there is no point.

[Dilettante grandfather]

That is, in their opinion, we are running out of missiles, and therefore we launch them anyway, only without warheads? .. Hmm ... The British have too tricky logic ... No, I understand if they said that we have run out of TNT, and that is why we launch missiles without a warhead. And so - go understand why we need to launch missiles if we have them in short supply ...

[PN]

To deplete air defense missiles, you can generally use UAVs with ramjet engines. The price is three kopecks.

[Peter1First]

the old X-55 looks like the X-555, creating the illusion of "naturalness"

[Mr. One Two]

Frank nonsense, this carrier may have conventional ammunition. It is reasonable to shoot all ammunition of 3-4 categories.

[Bingo]

Previously, they stated that our Caliber costs about 7 lemons. So I understand, also without a warhead, yes, yes

[scary]

I remember that about 2 weeks ago, Ukrainians showed some kind of pile of metal and said that it was a blank from a rocket, and then, as in the text: rockets are running out. The question immediately arises, is the rocket itself, without a warhead, already rubbish? Moreover, because of this, the plane must be lifted. I don’t even get the point why this is all being asserted, well, if you don’t assume that the idiots were told that the missiles were running out, and these idiots don’t even deign to establish a logical connection. Here, on the contrary, there are a lot of missiles, since they put blanks on them and use them as a glut of air defense, this is if we are already included in this game of meanings.

[This is the main]

Well, if it were not for the Ukrainian air defense and British scientists, then of course they would have been hit with warheads a long time ago !!! Yes, even with nuclear ones !!! Yes, and according to yyropa, and "we will not be afraid to say what a sin to conceal !!!" according to him himself !!! In the center of decision making!!! In the Fashington area!!! By the city of the enemy !!!! Fashington!!! Well, Ukrainian air defense and British scientists held us back a little ....

[Glagol1]

The most interesting thing is that the local readers consume all this nonsense and think that this is all true. And the expert and the publication earn on this. We get the output: the duped population and all the trash that claims to be an expert. They vote in zombie elections for all sorts of scholts, johnsons and dudykhs.

ZY, And the idea of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbusing "Point-U" seems to be correct, if you look from the point of view of depleting air defense-missile defense. But correct theoretically. The air defense of the Wild West will not take it. The "Patriot" seemed to shoot down individual Iraqi SCADs, but we must not forget that this ancient Soviet equipment went through modernization by the hands of fascist pests. And some of the "downed" themselves collapsed in dense layers.

Yes, this is the tenth case, if not the hundredth! if we use a missile purely to deplete air defense / missile defense, then the main thing is that it more or less flies towards the enemies. And let them spend a couple (or even more) anti-aircraft / missile defense on it. At the same time, and on the disposal of some "Points-U". decommissioned by the Russian Federation will save.

British scouts are trying to get close to Russian missiles to determine if the missile has a warhead or if it is a blank charge. Some of the British intelligence officers "did not return to their place of permanent deployment."

British scientists have found out that British intelligence officers have learned that the Russian Strategic Missile Forces are preparing obsolete Ukrainian-made ICBMs for disposal by launch. At the same time, the warhead is changed to cast iron. The mass-dimensional version is obtained.
