Russian MiG-31 fighters with Kinzhal missiles are stopping the Ukrainian economy

18

Russian MiG-31I fighters with hypersonic Kinzhal missiles are stopped the economy Ukraine, simply taking off from their airfields, reports the American magazine National Interest. According to him, Kiev understands that the Kinzhal is capable of hitting any target in the region, despite its level of air defense cover, so the takeoff of Russian planes leads to an air raid warning.

The article emphasizes that the MiG-31I still remains a “mysticism” for the West, since there are many assumptions regarding all its capabilities.



It has proven to be a good strike aircraft, which Kyiv takes very seriously. . Every time a MiG-31I takes off from Russian bases near Ukraine, an air raid alert is issued throughout the country

– noted in the publication.

According to the authors, Kyiv is particularly concerned about the Kinzhal hypersonic missiles that the fighter can carry. Their enormous speed and significant flight range force Ukraine to sound the alarm in advance, writes NI.

The authors of the American magazine also pointed out that the MiG-31 is considered one of the fastest military aircraft in the world, has the latest controls, can operate at both high and low altitudes, and track several targets at once. In the West, it is believed that the fighter will remain in service with the Russian Armed Forces at least until mid-2030.

    Then why a couple of days ago the National Bank of Ukraine lowered the discount rate for the 4th time since the summer - by 100 bp. from 16 to 15% per annum, and our rates are already rising to 16%, this is the result of the criminal inaction of the Central Bank, when for a year we watched as the ruble was kicked to the floor from 50-100 rubles, completely killing respect for the ruble.... And then they go public and announce timely measures by the Central Bank and the Government to raise rates.
    As the regulator informed, in Ukraine inflation dropped to 5,1% in November, while in our country it is above 7...%, in fact higher...
    Offered candy wrapper salaries in Russia increased by about +20% over the year (from 44.9 thousand rubles to 54 thousand rubles).
    It turns out that salary growth is 20%!!! , in fact, this is a chimera.... In real money (in gold), salaries fell by -21%!!!
    This is the same bluff as the 3.5% candy wrapper GDP growth that the Government brags about every day. In real money (in gold), Russia's GDP collapsed by about 30%-40% over the year!!! This is how they rub our eyes...

      Yes, it was pointed out correctly. Inflation is a way to take money away from citizens and legal entities by reducing their value. But the country needs resources for its own, and this needs to be understood. The ruble exchange rate is a moving thing, it can be returned, the time will come. I am more concerned about something else - the export of resources from the country continues, why do we need this compradorship during an actual war with the West, when even China has understood everything and is not buying, but, on the contrary, is getting rid of American “securities”? The dollar system is overloaded with debt and is already on its way out, why bother exchanging real resources for cut paper?

        Where did you see the purchase of American securities by Russia? They got rid of them a few years ago and never approached them again, shelling out for gold

      About Ukraine. They receive help from the West. It is of two types: military, primarily weapons and ammunition, and macro-financial. It's just money. They are given both by grants, which is a smaller part, and by long-term loans, which will then have to be repaid, and this is the majority. The authorities simply pour this external money into 404 to maintain the hryvnia exchange rate and the cost of loans. Thus, 90% of Ukrainians, economically illiterate people, develop the consciousness that everything seems to be fine. But in fact, everything is very bad, if there is no external funding, then everything will collapse. Into the abyss. This government is alive as long as it spews hatred towards the Russian world and receives funding from the West.

    I assure you that nothing has changed in Ukraine; my friends just moved from there yesterday and told me a lot of interesting things. Only the Alegarchs and officials live there well, just like us, but the common people are not very good. In terms of housing and communal services, everything is also growing.

    These missiles are much more effective and cheaper to launch from ground-based launchers. Fortunately, the flight range is enough. And there is no need to chase the old Mig31, which was developed to carry 6-8 air-to-air missiles, and not just one air-to-surface

          Ukrainians themselves write that MiG31 flights bring them billions of hryvnia in damage.
          The alarm is declared upon the MiG's takeoff. It is not visible from the satellite whether there are missiles there or not. And what's on the pilot's mind?
          The MiG just flies and flies. Then it refueles in the air and flies again. But the enterprises are not working, waiting for him to either launch a rocket or land.
          The pilot is training, practicing mid-air refueling...
          The plane flies without any special loads, in normal mode, far from enemy air defenses.
          And the alarm is declared throughout the entire country, taking into account the range of the Dagger.

    If you don’t go deeper, from all the speeches about situations on the internal and external fronts, there seems to be a feeling of victory, and the more specifics, the more the victory turns into victory. Why should an overseas magazine report on our super-duper missiles, capable of hitting any target, and why not boast of a long list of super-duper targets hit?

      About 4 days ago, 3 either Daggers or Iskander were sent to Starokonstantinov and in the bunker they got into a meeting where they calmed down 28 senior officers of Ukraine and 12 senior officers of Poland and the Czech Republic. It is believed that this meeting had something to do with the F 16.
      They may say that our press reports are propaganda, but if it is written by an enemy voice, then you can’t argue.

    How can one even compare the economies of Russia and Ukraine? There is no economy in Ukraine. Almost completely autonomous Russia and a bankrupt state, surviving solely on Western loans. The government of this country, with reduced inflation and discount rates, is already shouting that if the next loan does not arrive, then amen to pensions, salaries for public sector employees, soldiers and other riffraff. There is no money, no money at all, no people, no economy, not even inflation. Yes, not everything is good in Russia, a lot of thousands of sanctions are not that, but relative to Ukraine it is not just better, but great.

    It would be a good idea to “stop” the European economy as well. Especially Poland and Germany.

      It would be a good idea to boost our economy. And not at the expense of paper GDP, which has grown on tanks and shells, which turn into garbage in tons in the Northwestern Military District zone.
      And by increasing labor productivity, increasing the production of highly processed goods for domestic consumption and for export. An increase in labor productivity is achieved by improving technology, investing in means of production, science and education.
      And for this you need to fight your corruption, greed, laziness, and theft. So that resources are effectively invested in improving the quality of life of the population, and not the whims of a few close to power and resources.
      In Germany, real GDP is several times greater than Russia's GDP, because they are not engaged in corruption, but in creation. It is not necessary to destroy it, but to take a positive example and work for yourself.
      In Russia, less than 0.5% of GDP is now spent on science. In Western countries it is more than 3%. Despite the fact that they also have more GDP. The prospects are not good. Here we have our own problems to solve. It should have been decided a long time ago. And not to destroy Germany, with which Russia has historically good and fruitful relations.

    It’s okay, now the export duty on oil and so on seems to be zeroed out, but foreign currency must be sold. Any currency will pour into the country. The ruble will rise in price unprecedentedly. There really won't be anything to refuel with.

    Something is not clear: all the way the Banderlogs declared that they could easily shoot down all *Daggers*. They even demonstrated a downed missile. Moreover, they stated that they were shooting down *Daggers* in batches. Now what's wrong? Where do such fears come from?
