All this rocket trash is carefully calculated by a specially appointed “accountant”: the Imeus missile attack early warning satellite, which hangs above the Earth at a distance of 28,000 km.
By the way, he also saw the Ukrainian missile that flew into Brovary in 1999. Therefore, the Pentagon’s figures are “accurate”, this system has been counting since the late 70s of the last century and has never made a mistake.
We counted the “Calibers” earlier (there were about 200, approximately 170 were spent). As for Iskanders, it should be something like this: there is one missile brigade in each army participating in the invasion, that is, there are 3-4 such brigades. And these are 36-48 launchers, each has 2 missiles on the launcher, 2 more on the TZM, in total, the brigade has 144-192 missiles. You can “savage” that there should be at least the same amount of money in the bins of the “family”.
You can also take supplies from other brigades (there are 8 brigades, according to unverified data – even 10, but I could not find information about 2 new ones anywhere).
If 230 pieces were fired from mobile launchers, it means that they have spent everything they have and borrowed somewhere else, that is, there is no longer enough. Another 240 missiles were launched from planes (this is not my pasture, I have to chat with competent people, the Pension Information Bureau does not have an aviation unit).
Digital morality: the enemy spent 85% of the Kalibr missile system, the Iskander OTR – 24% (of the total available in the Russian Federation, 120% was spent in the operational zone, that is, missile strikes:
(a) Poorly planned.
b) crookedly executed.
On high-precision weapons of the Russian Federation: when you launch a group missile strike with cruise missiles on an airfield, which is even on Google Maps, but hit the lawn near the airport, then this is a highly inaccurate weapon, and not everything that the Russian Federation shows in cartoons.
For contrast and awareness of the beauty of missile science: at 04:42 on 04.04.2017, two US Navy destroyers USS Ross (DDG-71) and USS Porter (DDG-78) struck the Syrian airbase of Ash Sharat with 60 Tomahawk missiles.
59 missiles found their targets, while some of the missiles of the first launch punched holes in concrete shelters, and of the second launch, flew into the punched holes and hit the planes hidden there.
This is accuracy, this is a missile strike. I should also note the Pentagon’s great sense of humor and subtle understanding of Russian realities: the missile attack on the gopnik was led by a woman, the captain of the Porter, commander Andria L. Slough (pictured).
Learn, gopniks, rocket business properly!
About the bad: all this high-precision junk, the remnants of Soviet cruise missiles will fly over Ukraine until the last day, until the destruction of missile carriers (the SOF understands this without me).
But not every Iskander will reach the middle of the Dnieper. So with Gogol, no?
