Preamble:
Recently, there has been a very serious military conflict in the world, the Ukrainian army actually launched 12 ATACMS tactical dao bombs at about 3:30 in the morning into the Russian Crimea, successfully destroyed a number of S400, S300 anti-aircraft missile and radar systems, resulting in the death of 22 Russian soldiers, and the Ukrainian side claimed that the Russian army had 110 dead and 30 wounded. As soon as this attack came out, it immediately caused an international uproar, and various countries responded to this matter one after another, what is the reason why the Ukrainian army will launch an attack on Russia, and what are the deep-seated reasons behind it? Next, let's take a look at the details of this attack.
1. Ukrainian troops attacked Russian Crimea
According to relevant media reports, it turned out that the attack occurred at about 3:30 in the morning, when the Ukrainian army launched 12 ATACMS tactical missiles into Russian Crimea, and these missiles successfully destroyed a number of S400 and S300 air defense missiles and radar systems, which can be said to have achieved very significant results. And in this attack, the Russian side also suffered very heavy losses, a total of 22 servicemen were unfortunately killed, and according to the Ukrainian side, the number of casualties of the Russian army may be a little higher, about 110 dead and 30 injured.
Such a casualty figure is undoubtedly a very heavy blow to Russia, and it also makes Russia's defense department feel very angry and sad, and they said that they will conduct a comprehensive and thorough investigation into this attack to find out what caused the Ukrainian army to attack Russia, and what are the deep-seated reasons behind this.
Second, the use of ATACMS tactical missiles
In this attack, the Ukrainian army used ATACMS tactical missiles, and this missile is quite powerful, it is the main long-range strike weapon of the US Army, not only has a very high accuracy, but also its maximum range can reach 300 kilometers, which can be said to be quite powerful. To be able to achieve such results, it is unimaginable without the powerful power of ATACMS tactical missiles, and there may be certain reasons why the Ukrainian army chose to use ATACMS tactical missiles.
Not long ago, the United States provided Ukraine with a batch of ATACMS tactical missiles, hoping that Ukraine could use the power of these missiles to better protect its homeland security, but it did not expect that Ukraine would use these missiles against Russia, and such a move will undoubtedly have a very serious impact on the relationship between Ukraine and Russia, and will also exacerbate the tension between the two countries, and bring a very big threat to international peace and stability.
Third, the failure of the S400 air defense system
In this attack, the reason why Russia suffered such a serious blow is inseparable from the failure of the S400 air defense system, it turns out that the S400 air defense system has always been a big killer weapon for Russia, its air defense performance can be said to be very good, can effectively resist various types of air strike weapons, and its range and coverage are also very wide, it can be said to be quite powerful.
In this attack in Ukraine, the S400 air defense system made a very serious mistake, and it was not able to effectively intercept and destroy the ATACMS tactical missiles launched by Ukraine, which led to serious damage to its radar system and anti-aircraft missiles, and such a mistake also brought very heavy pain to the Russian military.
Some people think that this may be because there are certain problems with the radar performance of the S400 air defense system, and the response speed is relatively slow, so it was not able to detect and destroy the incoming missiles at the first time, and some people think that this may be because of the leakage problem of the S400 air defense system. Whatever the reason, I believe that the Russian military will carry out a comprehensive inspection and improvement of the S400 air defense system to improve its air defense performance.
Fourth, the application of China's Hongqi-9B and Hongqi-9C anti-aircraft missiles
In this attack, the failure of the S400 air defense system undoubtedly brought a very profound warning to countries around the world, and also made people have certain doubts about the air defense performance of the S400 air defense system.
In a similar war situation, whether the S400 air defense system can effectively resist incoming missiles and how powerful its air defense performance is may need to be further verified and tested.
In addition to the S400 air defense system, in fact, China's Hongqi 9B and Hongqi 9C long-range air defense missiles are also quite excellent, their air defense performance is very good, and its radar performance and response speed are far more than the S400 air defense system, which can be said to be very suitable for resisting the existence of various long-range air strike weapons, so in a similar war situation, perhaps the S400 air defense system does have certain limitations and deficiencies, and Hongqi 9B, The Hongqi-9C long-range anti-aircraft missile may be more suitable for practical warfare applications.
This does not mean that the S400 air defense system will necessarily be replaced by Hongqi 9B and Hongqi 9C long-range air defense missiles, after all, the S400 air defense system also has its own unique advantages and characteristics, but in different war situations, it may be possible to flexibly choose to use different types of air defense systems according to actual needs, so as to better protect the country's airspace security.
Epilogue:
Through this attack, we can not only see the powerful power of the ATACMS tactical missile, but also see some problems with the S400 air defense system to a certain extent, and this successful attack by the Ukrainian army may also bring certain inspiration and warning to the military air defense field of countries around the world. It is believed that in the future, all countries will certainly attach greater importance to the building of military air defense, strive to enhance their air defense capability, and make greater contributions to maintaining world peace and stability.
It is hoped that with the joint efforts of the international community, an effective way to solve the problem can be found as soon as possible to avoid further escalation of the conflict, and it is also hoped that all countries can jointly maintain regional peace and stability, jointly respond to various global challenges, and make positive efforts and contributions to building a community with a shared future for mankind through dialogue and cooperation on an equal footing.
