Ukraine lost a lot this time, and billions of dollars worth of anti-aircraft missiles were put on the side of Russia
Ukraine's own military capabilities are good, but this time in a battle with Russia, I found that a lot of good Ukrainian equipment is blind! In fact, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine was given a large number of modern weapons, including the advanced S-300 air defense system, and did not expect that the Ukrainian military, which has hundreds of sets of such advanced equipment, has its own anti-aircraft missile base being turned into a pot by the Russian army.
Recently, according to Russian news reports, the Russian army has taken control of a large S-300 air defense missile base in Sevastopol, Ukraine, the city of Crimea, Ukraine, and many missiles and equipment have not been transported or damaged; the media said that more than 10 sets of S300 air defense missile systems at the base have been taken by the Russian army. So far, the Russian military has taken control of two large anti-aircraft missile bases in Ukraine, causing Ukraine to lose more than 30 anti-aircraft missile systems.
Also known as the Antey-2500, the S-300P series can launch two types of missiles, one to intercept medium-range ballistic missiles and one to strike aircraft-like targets. The air defense system can strike a wide range of aircraft, including aircraft with low radar scattering surfaces and carrying cruise missiles and medium-range ballistic missiles – simultaneously hit four targets, with a maximum range of 200 kilometers and a height of 25,000 meters, and it sells for about $120 million abroad for a system.
Most of the ukrainian possession is S-300V, it belongs to the S-300 series of army field air defense systems, many cities use tracked chassis, to provide field air defense to the group army-level troops, it can intercept 24 targets at the same time, the missile uses inertial guidance and semi-active radar end guidance, the launch method is vertical launch, can intercept the speed of 3 km / s, the range of 1100 km incoming tactical ballistic missiles, the maximum interception distance of 40 km, the maximum interception distance of the aircraft is 100 km.
The Russian military said: the S-300V they captured on the Ukrainian side are old systems and missiles that have not been upgraded, and they are compared to the S-300VM deployed by the Russian army, and the Ukrainian S300 missile system has fallen behind, and the Russian side cannot look at it.
