According to the latest war report released by the Ministry of Defense of Russia, the Russian army used the Iskander ballistic missile system to destroy two Ukrainian military trains near the Bavenkovo settlement in the Donetsk People's Republic, more than 240 Ukrainian troops of the 41st Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army were killed, and more than 60 vehicles were destroyed.
On July 20, the Russian army just used Iskander ballistic missiles to destroy two Patriot air defense missile launchers and a supporting fire control radar of the Ukrainian army, and on July 21, three Iskander ballistic missiles were used to destroy two military trains of the Ukrainian army.
Three Iskander missiles hit in the air, and two columns of the Ukrainian army were killed in flames!
On July 21, the Russia Ministry of Defense issued a war report saying that the Russian army used the Iskander ballistic missile system to destroy two Ukrainian military trains near the Bavenkovo settlement in the Donetsk People's Republic, each with more than 20 locomotives.
According to preliminary statistics, about 240 Ukrainian troops of the 41st Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army were killed, including 14 American-made MaxxPro armored vehicles, 10 Canada-made Senator armored fighting vehicles, 7 armored personnel carriers, 2 combat reconnaissance vehicles, 5 armored recovery vehicles and more than 60 trucks, including 60 vehicles, were destroyed!
The Russia Military Review reported on the entire course of the attack.
First of all, when the Russia Orlan-10 reconnaissance drone performed a reconnaissance mission near Bavenkovo, it found two large military columns staying here at the same time, and they immediately transmitted their coordinates to the Russian missile forces, and then a number of Russian Iskander missiles successively launched attacks on the Ukrainian military columns that were carrying out loading and unloading operations, and this drone filmed the entire process of the Russian Iskander missile attack military columns nearby.
Judging from the video released by the Ministry of Defense of Russia, three Iskander ballistic missiles were involved in the air strike, and in order to cover as much area as possible, at least one of the Iskander ballistic missiles also used cluster warheads to eliminate as many effective forces as possible in the Ukrainian army.
In this air attack, the Russian reconnaissance drone provided intelligence, the Iskander missile was responsible for the attack, and the drone filmed the attack process, which has become the standard configuration of the Russian army's rapid precision strike system. This time, the video of the attack process taken by the Russian reconnaissance drone can also avoid the information blockade of the Ukraine government and provide material for propaganda warfare.
Interlocking, the Russian army's rapid and precise reconnaissance and strike system has become the biggest threat to the Ukrainian army!
Many people say that the Russian army's blockbuster gliding guided bombs are the biggest threat to the Ukrainian army, and this sentence is true and incorrect!
First of all, it is true that the Russian army has widely used heavy gliding guided bombs on the battlefield, which has given the Russian army the opportunity to break through the strong fortresses that could not be conquered in the previous combat mode. Like Avadiivka and Krasnogovka, they have been fighting since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and due to the lack of effective means of attacking, after more than a year of fighting, the Russian army has hardly made any major progress, but after the Russian army used a large number of heavy gliding guided bombs, it quickly broke through the defense line of the Ukrainian army.
In this sense, the gliding guided bombs of the Russian army are indeed the biggest threat facing the Ukrainian army at the moment.
However, without the suppression of the Ukrainian air defense system by the rapid precision strike system composed of drones and Iskander ballistic missiles, the Ukrainian army can deploy the Patriot air defense missile system forward to the maximum extent, and even ambush near the line of contact to ambush the carrier aircraft of gliding guided bombs, thus forcing these Russian aircraft to stay away from the front line and unable to enter the attack range of gliding guided bombs.
On March 12, according to the Russia Satellite News Agency, through the analysis of the data released by the Ministry of Defense of the Russia, it was found that in the first two months of this year, the Russian army used a reconnaissance and strike system composed of drones and Iskander ballistics to destroy 40 missile launchers and 20 fire control radars supporting the Ukrainian army.
Judging from the information released by all parties, many NATO air defense systems were quickly destroyed by the reconnaissance and strike system of the Russian army after they were delivered to Ukraine.
Under the continuous suppression of the Russian reconnaissance and strike system, it is difficult for the Ukrainian army to maintain effective air defense forces on the front line, which creates very favorable conditions for Russian Air Force fighters to approach and even fly over the battlefield to carry out precision strikes on the positions of the Ukrainian army.
After the air defense system was unable to contain the fierce strikes of the Russian army's gliding guided bombs on the positions of the Ukrainian army, Ukraine is now pinning its hopes on the F16 fighters to be provided by NATO countries to deal with the Russian gliding guided bomb carriers.
These F16 fighters, which have been eliminated by NATO countries, can pose a great threat to the fighter-bombers of the Russian Air Force if the Ukrainian army's tactics are used properly, thus effectively curbing the Russian Air Force's use of gliding guided bombs to provide fire support to the Russian ground forces.
But in the actual use of the F16 fighter in the Ukrainian army, it has fallen into a dilemma.
If the Ukrainian army deploys it in the relatively safe area of Wuxi, then these F16 fighters will stay in the sky over the battlefield in eastern Ukraine for a very short time, and it will be difficult to play a practical role.
But if the Ukrainian army deploys them at front-line airfields close to the battlefield in eastern Ukraine, they will quickly become the prey of the Russian army's reconnaissance and strike system, and will not have an impact on the battlefield situation.
According to the war report released by the Russia Ministry of Defense on July 6, from June 29 to July 5, the Russian army destroyed a total of ten Ukrainian fighter jets and one helicopter gunship, of which nine fighters were destroyed by Russian Iskander missiles on the tarmac of the Ukrainian army's airport, and these airports that were attacked by the Russian army are the front-line airfields where the Ukrainian army plans to deploy F16 fighters.
Under the operation of the Russian army, the Ukrainian army is likely not to deploy F16 fighters at front-line airports, and the Ukraine government's attempt to curb the Russian army's massive use of gliding guided bombs by introducing F16 fighters is likely to be unrealizable.
Judging from the strong suppression of the Ukrainian army's air defense system and forward airfields by the Russian reconnaissance and strike system, they have indeed become the biggest threat to the Ukrainian army.
