The speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that Ukraine is not afraid of Russian Kh-50 missiles

The latest Russian Kh-50 missiles, mass production of which will be launched in the Russian Federation in the coming months, supposedly do not frighten Ukraine. This was stated by the speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat.

On the air of a single telethon broadcast by all Ukrainian TV channels, Ignat called the Kh-50 "ordinary cruise missiles", which the Ukrainian air defense allegedly learned to shoot down long ago.



The speaker of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Army also added that in terms of their tactical and technical characteristics, the Kh-50 is absolutely no different from other cruise missiles used by the Russian army against targets in Ukraine, such as Kalibr, Kh-101 and Kh-555. Ignat suggested that the Kh-50 was launched into mass production solely because of its low cost, no different from conventional cruise missiles.

Earlier, the Ukrainian General Staff announced the plans of the Russian leadership to increase the production of Kh-50 missiles in order to intensify the launch of missile strikes on targets in Ukraine.

According to Oleksiy Gromov, Deputy Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Ukrainian military command has information that in June this year Russia plans to launch mass production of Kh-50 type strategic air-launched cruise missiles in order to be able to activate massed missile launchers in the fall. attacks on Ukraine.

The representative of the Ukrainian General Staff also stated that, according to the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the beginning of the special operation, the Russian army allegedly launched about 8 missile strikes, while using up about half of the available stock of ground-to-ground missiles.

          We need not only missiles, much more important is a smart, courageous and loving leader of the country who will not waste such weapons on objects that no one needs. With such a number of missiles of different types it was possible to smash all the bridges across the Dnieper for a long time.
          And then to hammer with mopeds and missiles at the pontoons pointing across the Dnieper, clusters of equipment near them and places of reloading onto the railway platform. After that, it will be very difficult for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to operate on the left bank of the Dnieper, just like we did in Kherson.

      Approximately so many years ago they began to develop it, if not more. Or do you think it's so easy to do it? Google how many years the Americans have been creating their JASSM-ER / XR ALCM, and it is essentially an analogue of the X-50 ALCM (aka X-SD).


      Static and ground tests of the rocket were carried out in 2016. The completion of flight tests of the rocket is expected in 2018-2020.
      According to Western data, the serial production of the missile is planned to be deployed within the framework of the State Armament Program 2018-2027.

        Another important lesson learned from the SVO. There should be a lot of high-precision weapons, but they should not be expensive, but be relatively cheap, like the same Lancets, Geraniums, FAB-1500 / ODAB-1500 with UMPC, UAS (Krasnopol, Kitolov, Gran ), attack drones with X-UAV, KAB-50, UPAB-50, X-50 (not to be confused with the X-50 KR). It’s not an option to fight with only expensive Calibers, Iskanders, X-101. So you won’t get enough missiles.

      It is theoretically possible to shoot down. Since it is not easy to shoot down such missiles in practice. The engine on the X-50 is still new.

      An important feature of the X-SD is the in-hull architecture of the engine nacelle of the small-sized turbojet engine "Product 37−04"

      Read more: https://eadaily.com/ru/news/2023/04/14/krylatye-rakety-h-50-i-bpla-inohodec-gotovyat-k-unichtozheniyu-nastupleniya-vsu

      Since these missiles, due to their large dimensions, have a larger fuel supply than the Kh-50, they are also capable of flying much further. The engine is also known as "product 37". The article specifies the modification of the engine - TRDD-50B or "product 37−04". However, the report of the Omsk Design Bureau for 2014 lists priority work on the creation of a new engine of the same family with significantly improved characteristics - "product 37M". And, I must say, there is a significant maneuver to improve performance. Because the turbofan engine-50 began to be mass-produced in 1980. Moreover, it was produced in Ukraine. In 2000, it was decided to establish production in Russia, in connection with which the Omsk Design Bureau had to do significant restoration work. At the same time, another modification was created - the turbofan engine-50B. However, not so fresh technological level is used in all current engines. So the “product 37M” for the Kh-50 rocket is based on new technologies, technologies of the XNUMXst century.

      The X-50 is smaller than the X-101, in addition, they write that the engine is located inside the rocket, and not on a retractable gondola like on the X-101, that is, the RCS is much smaller. If we compare it with Caliber, then again there is a cylindrical body of the rocket, but here it will be like that of the X-101.

    If you believe what is written, then the X-50 EPR will be much smaller than the same X-101, which will cause additional trouble for any air defense.
    In general, the show-off and ambition of Ukrainians is right above the mountains, just how proudly they declare Ukrainian air defense, in fact, the remnants of the Soviet and Western complexes. His Ukrainian zero there along.
    The fact that the missiles will be much cheaper than older models is excellent, in this way you can saturate with a large number, and, accordingly, make more massive launches, and there no "Ukrainian" air defense will be taken out, moreover, by oversaturating, you can break through the defense, so even opening to destroy, and air defense missiles for Soviet systems, Ukraine does not produce, which will eventually lead to head and exhaustion.

    The speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that Ukraine is not afraid of Russian Kh-50 missiles
    . And what are some speakers afraid of? They don’t run around the fields, under shelling, and they don’t cover important objects with their little bodies ...

    Quote from Orange Bigg
    Another important lesson learned from the NWO. There should be a lot of high-precision weapons, but they should not be expensive, but relatively cheap ....


    It all depends on the type of armed conflict. I don't think anyone planned this kind of military conflict.

    And what is the air force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine now?
    What do they consist of and why do they need a speaker?
    Probably to tell how the Ukrainian Air Force is fighting in the absence of planes and helicopters ....

      Well, they mainly consist of a speaker, and you ask why you need it. Well, our former "brothers" are also slowly assembling our old MIGs all over Europe.

      F-16s are easier to shoot down than X-50s, and then cruise missiles have a shelf life many times longer than solid fuel missiles, this is also a plus .... and it is easier to upgrade them.

        Where to hit? Where do cruise missiles usually fly? They fly to previously explored targets in the rear. Just where the F-16s can run with impunity, much more adapted to attacks of small-sized non-maneuvering targets than the ancient MiG-29s of window-sills. And I won’t be surprised that hired pilots will appear behind the joystick of these F-16s, the mission is safe - fly, shoot down.

    The newest Russian Kh-50 missiles, mass production of which will be launched in the Russian Federation in the coming months, allegedly do not frighten Ukraine.

    Why be afraid of them? We do not touch bridges and tunnels. We do not touch the buildings of the Ministry of Defense, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Bank. The leaders of everything and everyone go to Kyiv "on excursions" almost every day. Heavy Western equipment is being quietly transported across the country to the front line. * (inadequate situation) however.

    Comes to the point of absurdity. How can this scare the Planet if it was not afraid of dinosaurs and other saurs. Those with brains can be afraid. The brainless are not afraid. After all, the grasshopper jumps, but where he does not see.
