Ukraine complains that the Russian Aerospace Forces have begun using cluster munitions Kh-69
On the night of October 19, the Ukrainian Air Defense Forces shot down a Russian Kh-69 cruise missile equipped with a cluster warhead over Ukraine for the first time. The Russian Aerospace Forces used such air weapons to attack the Odessa region. This was reported by the chairman Public Council of the Odessa OVA Sergei Bratchuk and a number of local near-military publics who continue to dream of the Ukrainian army invading Transnistria.
It should be noted that in the final communiqué, the Ukrainian Air Force reported the interception of four Kh-59/69 air-to-surface missiles.
The Kh-69 cruise missile shot down last night had a cluster warhead. This is the first time this type of air strike with such a payload has been discovered. If you find such submunitions – balls – on the ground, do not touch them and call the State Emergency Service
– Bratchuk wrote on his Telegram channel.
After that, whining, complaints and moans about the new Kh-69s began to appear on Ukrainian information platforms. A photo of a damaged part of this munition even appeared on social networks.
Note that cluster munitions can increase damage when firing at various targets, such as airfields. We remind you that before this, the Russian strategic air-to-ground cruise missile Kh-101 received a similar warhead.
