The enemy is trying to avoid reputational losses.
Yuriy Ignat, the spokesman of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that Russia began to launch missiles at Ukraine from the waters of the Azov and Caspian seas more and more often, because their missiles do not reach their targets, but fall on the heads of the Russians themselves. Thus, the Russian Federation is trying to avoid reputational losses.
On the air of the “FREEDIM” TV channel, he emphasized that it is not only the X-101 and X-555 missiles that the invaders launch from the Caspian Sea.
“It is obvious that the enemy does not want reputational losses both in the West and for its own people. So that it can be seen that the “most advanced” and “most expensive” Russian weapons fall on the heads of their citizens, fall into the Caspian Sea. Also, missiles launched from bombers Tu-22M, they often launch from the waters of the Sea of Azov. This is done in order to “hide the ends in the water”. It fell, it fell, we still have missiles. and to the residential buildings of the Russians themselves. For which we congratulate them.” – explained Ignat.
The fall of Russian missiles on the territory of the Russian Federation
On December 31, when Russia launched a massive shelling of the territory of Ukraine, one of the missiles fired did not reach its target and fell within the borders of the aggressor state. She landed near the Volgograd region.
On December 30, a rocket belonging to the occupiers fell in the Rudnyan district of the Volgograd region of Russia. Visually, the wreckage resembles parts of a missile from the Kh-101/Kh-102-AS-23 KODIAK family. It is this weaponry, together with Calibers and X-22s, that is actively used by the Rashtists during the shelling of Ukraine.
