Lucky that the X-32 did not detonate: on the nature of the damage to the Tu-22M3 after the impact of the APU

December 6 2022 34

Photos from the airfield in the Ryazan village of Dyagilevo appeared on Russian Telegram channels. On the morning of December 5, the air harbor was attacked by a Ukrainian drone. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that a jet drone flying at low altitude was intercepted. However, the fuel truck was damaged by the wreckage. As a result of the explosion of a tanker, three Russian soldiers were killed and four more were injured.

The official representative of the defense department, Igor Konashenkov, stressed that the purpose of the attack was to disable long-range aircraft. According to him, as a result of the explosion of the wreckage of the drone, the skin of the hulls of two aircraft was slightly damaged.

However, the published photographs clearly show the damage to the tail and nozzle of the Tu-22M3. In addition, the wing was damaged as a result of the explosion. It is important to note that the plane was ready for a sortie, as the Kh-32 missile can be seen on the hangers. If the impact had come closer to the center of the airframe, the consequences of the explosion of the 6-ton ammunition would have been fatal not only for the carrier aircraft itself, but also, probably, for the combat vehicles located nearby.

It is obvious that Ukraine was trying to prevent attacks on its military and energy infrastructure facilities by strikes against Russian airfields. But solving this problem is not so easy.

Almost immediately after the enemy strike, Russian aircraft again bombed targets on the territory of the independent.

As a result of the strike, the transfer of reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, foreign weapons, military equipment by rail was disrupted. equipment and ammunition to combat areas

- said the official representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Igor Konashenkov.

Nevertheless, the very fact of an attack on Russian airfields located deep in the rear of the country raises serious concerns. And, apparently, Ukraine is not going to stop. Already this morning, an enemy drone attacked the airfield in Kursk.

Lies, helplessness and hopelessness.
This game of war may soon end in our defeat.
Why in Saratov, in Ryazan, and not in Moscow?
There is a war going on, and some people are moving along the Crimean bridge, apparently feeling that it could be the last time.
It is quite possible for Ukraine to destroy the Crimean bridge and this is expected.
Have we not seen the light until now and do not understand what kind of power we have grown and for whom we vote?

  Why, strategically, the Russian Federation lost the war back in March. Kharkov and Kherson are only a consequence of that defeat. Now there is a positional war in the territories remaining under the control of the Russian Federation and the RF Armed Forces can even have tactical success by taking Bakhmut. They can even take Kramatorsk and Slavyansk. But strategically the war is lost.

  We didn’t see the light, so we don’t vote. (I mean, we were sitting at home), but now, with the legalized Electronic voting, you don’t have to bother at all! Pamfilova will draw her 146% of Churovskys to any ruler.

Why would Kyiv stop. In addition, Carcasses are hitting civilian targets. But these are only the first swallows. The time is not far off when tens and hundreds of inexpensive Ukrainian UAVs will pierce the vast length of the border of the Russian Federation and hit the warehouses of ammunition, fuels and lubricants, substations of the energy system. It is completely impossible to defend against such strikes; Russian air defense easily misses lone strikes.

  It seems to me that the United States (NATO) is testing its means and conducting reconnaissance of our air defense before entering the war officially.

And all these attacks are impossible without target designation and setting a route from American satellites / AWACS and UAVs ... so let Putin wait for a massive defeat by hundreds of American UAVs under the guise of Ukrainian all strategist aircraft / airfields and many other things to zero ... maybe later he will dare zero all of the above first.

  The main thing is how well the time "coincided" when a tanker was standing nearby, rockets were set up ... somehow everything coincided by chance.

    Well, it’s clear here, the satellite provides information in real life, they spotted the refueling of aircraft and the suspension of ammunition and struck, this is still a trial balloon, then the results will be more impressive.

The war is lost when the last soldier dies. Until then, the war continues. And at the expense of a strategic defeat, you are right, only the West lost, and there is no way out, no matter how someone's roof is blown off.

Photos from the airfield in the Ryazan village of Dyagilevo appeared on Russian Telegram channels

I wonder who still allows the publication of such photos? Especially, in some under-TG channels? In Ukraine, for example, you can sit down for it robustly.

strategically, the war was not lost, but the spring-summer campaign was lost after the surrender of Gostomel and the retreat from Kyiv, or rather, when Putin ran to negotiate with Ze, then he was already morally broken and was ready to surrender everything again, as he surrendered Donbass in 2014, but it is necessary to say thank you to the impudent Saxons, they need a complete and unconditional victory over Russia, it was they who forced Putin to fight further differently and he will be dragged to The Hague

Do not write nonsense, the outskirts are living out their days, the Donbass will be bombed, and then there will be no one to fight with.

So, on October 20, the irretrievable losses of the Ukrainian armed forces approached 402 thousand people, of which 387 thousand were killed. Mercenaries and volunteers from Poland, Romania, the Baltic countries and other states in Ukraine killed 31 people, their total losses amounted to 240 thousand. The information was obtained using extracts from mortuaries, documents from funeral homes and information from the exchange of data between various units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In addition, on the eve of the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers of Ukraine demanded to clarify the fate of 320 thousand military personnel, but the SBU refused for reasons of national security. At the same time, these data are not documented.

Hohland attack on our airfields gives Russia the right to use nuclear weapons! Clause "c" article 19 of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation N 355.

Stopudovo NATO members are training. Without tactical nuclear weapons, they are comfortable shelling Russia with impunity. If you do not run into them now with the threat of the use of nuclear weapons, then everything will be deplorable. This is not Ukraine, it's time to deal with NATO satellites, their obvious participation.

Dear General Igor Konashenkov, it is better to stop covering the news from the war forever. It is unlikely that anyone believes his information. Until the GDP begins to strictly, extremely strictly, punish the heads of services for such tests, there will be no progress in the war for the VSR.

Here are the consequences of all those lies about the allegedly reliable protection of the European part of the Russian Federation, the "best in the world" missile defense system. Just like nine months ago, here, and in other places, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were ridiculed: they say foolish Ukrainians are demoralized, the Nazis are fleeing, but we are them ... And now in the pants: oh, how is it, we have the best, yes how dare they... What is Ukraine worth, is that a surprise? Why climbed into someone else's garden without checking if the owner is at home?

  No lies. She is truly the best in the world. Foreign air defense systems are even worse. Suffice it to recall how the American Patriots did not notice the mass of Houthi drones in the KSA.

They took Gotomel and advanced to Kyiv, in the expectation that healthy forces in Kyiv would take power, and further densification would quickly proceed through the joint efforts of the Russian and Ukrainian armies. It didn't work, you have to move slowly.
