Here is the thing: If a radar is pointed in the direction of this missile, it will light up the screen, no doubt. But that's a big if. Ukraine has penetrated Russian airspace 1,000+ km deep with converted two-seaters flying at 250 km/h. Russia cannot close all attack vectors, and Russia knows it.
Who would have guessed I end the day with such a high lmao.
We all needed it.
Love this news. Hope they have a good production line and can get out like 50 a month or even more. This is really whats needed.
Are there that much oil refineries left?....:))
There's this bridge...
50 hydro-power dam's there might be. (but probably too much civilian carnage in most cases)
There are enough weapons factories behind the Ural. And you can't expect every missle to reach the target.
Does this mean Germany can stuff their Taurus (Tauri?) where the sun doesn't shine, i.e. back into warehouses to wait for obsolescence?
If I remember correctly Taurus has an advanced two-stage detonator warhead which is not (yet) available in Storm Shadow/Scalp or Flamingo. I might be wrong, but I remember reading about this. Let better experts to confirm/deny.
I think you're right, that was it's advantage in hitting the Kerch bridge. But if you want to hit an oil refinery or a Uralmash factory dual warhead is not necessary.
Potentially the recent string of attacks on radars and small attacks on Alabuga are preparing the paths for a real attack with these. It seems Ukraine is testing which way they can penetrate. To attack Alabuga properly, a few of these arriving could do the trick.
