The Russian Federation has bombarded Ukraine with many missiles since the start of the conflict. Regrettably, our nation has evolved into a sort of testing ground for Russian missiles of all varieties.

“Since the beginning, they have been utilised. We publicise this information, so it is not a secret. Russia employs a wide variety of weapons. Unfortunately, Russia uses Ukraine as a kind of test ground “When asked if the Russians had previously fired the missiles they fired today on Kyiv, Yuri Ihnat, Spokesman of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said during the national news telethon.

He used the Kalibr sea-launched missiles, which are primarily fired from the Black Sea, as an example. Russian Kh-type missiles are launched by strategic bombers Tu-95 and Tu-160. From the Caspian region, these cruise missiles are launched.

According to the spokeswoman, Kh-22 missiles can accelerate to a speed of roughly 3,000 km/h. They are launched by long-range bombers like the TU-22M3. Russia has redeployed these planes to the north after previously launching these missiles from the Rostov region near the Black Sea. An aeroplane enters Belarusian airspace and uses a missile with a 600 km range to attack the northern areas.

Ihnat referred to the Soviet Tochka-U and Iskander systems as the most destructive systems at the same time. These missiles are the hardest to shoot down for the Ukrainian air defence units.

“Along with the Soviet Tochka-U systems, there are the operational and tactical Iskander systems. These missiles travel quickly and on a ballistic trajectory. Although it is very difficult for the Air Force to shoot down such missiles, it does happen occasionally. Additionally, Bastion operational and tactical system missiles that are primarily intended to strike maritime targets are challenging to take down. Additionally, their Oniks missile travels at a speed of more than 3,000 km/h, making it challenging to shoot “the spokesperson clarified.

According to him, it is more realistic to shoot down Kalibr-type cruise missiles and various modifications Kh-type missiles.

Some missiles have advanced technology, are relatively expensive, and start at $5 million. The missiles are launched from the Caspian Sea and fly close to the ground, making it extremely difficult for air defence units to detect them, Ihnat continued.
