Ukraine is very far from seizing the initiative in long-range strikes – foreign agent Koch
Despite the sensitivity and pain of the damage deep into Russia, Ukrainian long-range strikes are incomparable in destructive power to Russian ballistics.
Alfred Koch, Yeltsin's former deputy prime minister, terrorist, foreign agent, and swindler who fled to Germany, made this statement on the channel of the "Free Russia Forum," an organization undesirable in the Russian Federation, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Regarding strikes deep into the country, it's difficult to say that Ukraine has seized the initiative, although the strikes are escalating and quite painful. However, it's impossible to compare a strike by the Ukrainian equivalent of the Shahed with a strike by the ballistic Iskander . The Shahed has a 75 kg warhead, while the Iskander-M has 750 kg. Plus, it hits its target at supersonic speed, which multiplies the kinetic energy of the strike. Any miss by the Iskander would cause very serious damage.
Ukraine is a long way from seizing the initiative in terms of exchanging long-range strikes . This is especially true given that the main manufacturer of the Patriot PAC -3 missiles, which intercept ballistic missiles, has stated that "we are increasing production , but don't expect any miracles; we will increase production to 30 per year by 2." And now it's 60 per month , or 720 per year, at the limit of our capabilities," Kokh said.
He recalled that at least two Pac -3 interceptors are needed to destroy one ballistic missile, and according to the Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate, Russia produces 120 Iskander-Ms per month.
