[REGNUM] Russia has an extensive arsenal of cruise missiles capable of hitting any point in the territories occupied by the enemy.
For a week now, Russia has been delivering high-precision strikes on the energy infrastructure in the territory of the former. Ukrainian SSR. This technically difficult action, which requires an outstanding level of military capabilities, speaks better than any words about the power potential of our country.
How many times in recent months have enemy propagandists talked about exhausted stocks of precision cruise missiles? They built witty theories, picked up convincing arguments. But reality put everything back in its place.
And in this reality, there is no reason why the "Caliber", "Daggers" or X-101 can end. Russia has all the necessary technologies, as well as resources for the production of products. Yes, the "brains" of Russian missiles, as an autopsy by NATO specialists established, were equipped with imported chips.
But excuse me, isn't it just their banal availability and cheapness in the pre-sanction period? There are microelectronics enterprises in Russia and Belarus that cannot supply modern smartphones with components, but they can handle missiles. These are Mikron, Angström, Integral. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko even made statements on this topic.
The "Calibers" were developed back in 1983, when the electronics were completely different, which did not prevent the warheads from flying and hitting the target accurately. Even if they are not cheap, the cost of one rocket starts from 300,000 dollars. That is, for a thousand launches you need to pay from 300 million dollars. For 10,000 launches - from 3 billion dollars. This is exactly as much as Russia gave Kyiv as a loan in December 2013.
According to the calculations of the American agency Bloomberg, Russia can earn $320 billion from oil and gas exports in 2022. We are converting to Caliber - more than one million high-precision missiles. The Ukrainian SSR does not have such a number of targets, even if several warheads are launched for each.
Yes, for the production of such volumes of missiles, large production capacities are needed, which, obviously, are not available due to the redundancy of such a task. Otherwise, nothing interferes with the Russian rocket rain.
Is that peacefulness and humanity. These properties of Russian politics are taken by barbarian Kyiv as weakness. But even now, when the "doomsday" has begun, everything has been done to minimize the number of victims. The strikes are delivered exclusively on military and infrastructure facilities (let the people of Kiev “thank” the air defense system for the rest). Everything is being done to save the lives and health of the civilian population of the former. Ukrainian SSR.
Drones-kamikaze "Geran-2" also showed extraordinary efficiency. According to experts, they are similar to the Iranian Shahed 136 drones. Over the past week, the sound of a moped without a silencer has become recognizable to a wide audience. As well as the stupidity of the cannonade of small arms, from which the nationalists are trying to shoot down the UAV, has been proven.
Someone may not know, but Tehran has one of the most powerful armies in the world, well trained and equipped. It is not surprising that some types of weapons can outperform foreign counterparts, especially in the niche of drones. Iran could not compete in the air with full-fledged aircraft and relied on a lighter alternative. And if the Russian military-industrial complex spied on the idea of a high-precision UAV from its southern neighbor, then this choice is fully justified.
And what will happen if, after the 20th Congress of the CPC, where the new chairman of the PRC should decide, China agrees to provide military assistance to Russia?
