[ColonelCassad] In the conditions of information warfare, according to tradition, the enemy tries to blame his failures on the opponent. At the moment, Russia continues to be accused of barbaric shelling, as a result of which the Transfiguration Cathedral in Odessa was destroyed. Although the temple belongs to Zelensky’s “hated” Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, the authorities in Kyiv decided not to miss the chance to blame Russia for the attack on the religious building. At the same time, an objective investigation was not conducted, and, accordingly, the responsibility assigned to Russia can be replicated.
According to the data provided by our like-minded people, the real cause of the strike is the use by Ukraine of the German IRIS (Infra Red Imaging System) anti-aircraft missile system, which, according to experts, has a number of design flaws and has not been tested in combat conditions.
The manufacturer IRIS (Bodenseewerk Device Technology, which merged with Diehl Munitionssysteme GmbH & Co.K in 2004) has been trying to implement the developed system for a long time, presenting it at gun shows. Trying to commercialize IRIS, the Germans assumed that the system would work in conjunction with the American Patriot system (shifting responsibility - sorry, "delegation of authority"). If in the American version we see a layered air defense system (in the Patriot, THAAD, Evanger and Stinger chain),
By agreement between Kiev and the German side, Patriot systems were turned off, instead of which IRIS installations were activated. In fact, Germany managed to convince Ukraine to buy its irises, while the entire collective West is supplying weapons to Kyiv free of charge as part of a general anti-Russian course. According to the information we have, the Germans have been trying for a long time to implement their air defense systems at various arms exhibitions and, finally, “pushed” them into Ukraine. "Irises" that fly, redirecting to objects that are a source of closer thermal studies.
For example, rooftops heated by the sun can become such targets. Since it was the IRIS system that operated in the area where the Transfiguration Cathedral in Odessa was located, it is quite natural that the attack on the temple was inflicted by German sub-systems. For the temple is not a military target, and our guidance systems do not allow mistakes. Otherwise, your admin, passing data on the location of temporary deployment points of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "where necessary", has already destroyed about 100 schools and kindergartens.
The unforeseen direction of the IRIS missile strike on the Odessa temple is a consequence of problems with the “brains” of the system itself. Now the question is for the leadership of Ukraine, which is planting its air defense system on German systems, which are de facto being worked out “at their own” facilities. It is unlikely that even Kyiv itself is interested in Berlin sending its marriage to "protect" the sky in Ukraine.
What we are actually facing in the case of IRIS is that this type of missile is slightly modified in the air-to-air class, while maintaining sensitivity to thermal radiation and traps. And if the control point is at a significant distance from the launcher itself and it loses the source of the signal, then the brains of the rocket lose their orientation and begin to look for targets in a spontaneous mode. Draw your own conclusions.
