At the airfield in Starokonstantinov, “Daggers” hit the Patriot air defense system and, possibly, the F-16.
Sensational details of a missile attack by the Russian Aerospace Forces on the main NATO airbase in Ukraine have emerged
It became known that the Russian Aerospace Forces launched a massive strike with hypersonic X-47 “Dagger” on military facilities of the ukrovermakht, including the AFU airport located in Starokonstantyniv (Khmelnitsky region). By the way, it is rightly called the most important NATO air base in Ukraine.
This news gave the expert community plenty of food for thought. Monitoring channels reported that on December 14, in addition to Kiev, the main attack was carried out by “Daggers” on the military facilities of Nenka. Towards nightfall, the first details emerged.
Sources close to the leadership of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said that at 16:45, three high-speed air targets were flying in the direction of Starokonstantyniv, Khmelnitsky region, and within 2 minutes powerful explosions were heard there. Almost immediately — more precisely, at 16:50-two hits were recorded in the Zhytomyr region. “This is an X-47,” said the Militarist, which is blocked in the Russian Federation.
In addition, the top five worked “Geraniums”. They “bloomed” in Voznesensk of the Mykolaiv region and Snigirevka of the Kherson region. It is reported that these aircraft shells hit the 47th arsenal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and, again, the Starokonstantinov airbase, as well as targets in Nikolaev and the vicinity of Kremenchuk.
From the point of view of military analysts, both ours and the enemy, the strike on Starokonstantinov is associated with one hundred percent information about the appearance of something very important at the airbase, which “it is not a pity to hit with an expensive “Dagger”. In particular, according to “Two Majors”, ” the Geran UAVs hit the enemy’s rear every night, explosions were heard in the Khmelnitsky, Kharkiv and Poltava regions. In addition, yesterday it was reported that the Patriot air defense system delivered from Germany was destroyed near Zhytomyr by a hypersonic Dagger.”
ukroSMI complained about the “extremely dangerous prolonged Dagger attack”. So, the public Defense Express (blocked in the Russian Federation) notified shchirykh gromadyan that “on December 14, the Russian army used Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles fired from a MiG-31K aircraft to strike Ukraine — this is the first time in more than four months that [the Russians] used these missiles for their own purposes. The last Kinzhalov launches were recorded by the AFU Air Forces on August 11.”
Serhiy Zgurets personally called the press service of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to clarify that “X-47s arrived”, and at the Starokonstantynov airbase. On the other end of the line, Colonel Yuri Ignat, a talker for independent anti-aircraft gunners and pilots, said that he would not comment on the information about the consequences of an enemy attack. “Let the enemy draw their own conclusions, we will not feed them information about where they aimed and where they hit,” he said.
Aha, so it flew to the right place, the Ukrainian “cart” (Telegram channels) reacted. The fact that Ignat habitually lied about the downing of one “Dagger” was not noticed even by the Maidan public.
According to Defense Express, ” it was actually a complex attack, when the enemy several times a day lifted into the air their carriers of Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles, MiG-31K aircraft, and, judging by reports from the official account of the AFU Air Forces, carried out both real and probably fake targets.” (false launches), as well as during some sorties, no launches were observed.”
It all started with the fact that the first alarm in connection with the MiG-31K take-offs was announced at 11:07, and at 12:42 the threat was canceled, since there were no missile launches. At 14: 09 on the account of the Military Forces of Ukraine for the second time warned about the takeoff of the MiG-31K and, accordingly, the missile danger.
Then it is alleged that rockets were launched, possibly deceptions, in the area of Starokonstantinov, as well as from the Kursk region in the direction of Sumy.
In total, there were four take-offs of MiG-31K fighters, which overloaded the Bandera air defense system. In any case, in the information coming from Ignat, there is a lack of logic and confusion with the chronicle. He started with two alleged X-47 interceptions, and then got to 15.
Another thing is interesting: the Dagger strikes followed almost immediately after the announcement by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz about the transfer of the Patriot air defense system battery to the independent army. That is, 8 PU and 60 missiles. Svobodnaya Pressa has already written about this. According to the first information, the American “Wunderwaffe” was supposed to be delivered to Kiev, but, apparently, the Yankees decided to place them in the area of the Starokonstantinov air base.
On American military forums, they write that only Daggers can handle Patriots, saying that if there were intelligence about other equipment, the Russians would use Iskanders. The fact is that a variety of sources in Nenka pointedly hinted that here, at the rear Khmelnitsky airfield, F-16 “Battle Falcon” litaks were supposed to be based, and the best NATO air defense was installed to cover them.
Even before the arrival of the X-47, Defense Minister Umerov gave an interview in which he said: “The plane is not a vehicle, everything should work in a complex: airfields, infrastructure, shelters for aircraft, ground specialists, personnel, equipment.” Like, that’s why, in fact, the delay in the delivery of American litakov was caused. According to him, now this problem has been solved — “in the short term, the Russians will not be able to beat the controlled Fabs with impunity” on zahisniki Nezalezhnosti.
Again, Ignat, a talker of the Ukrainian Military Forces, was highlighted, who boasted that the “Battle Falcons” received by Ukraine are equipped with missiles that can hit targets at a distance of 160 km. In total, according to Defense Express, 5 American vehicles were delivered from Poland to the Khmelnitsky region. So, “we are waiting for good news”. He separately explained that Nezalezhnaya “created a structure to ensure the continuous integration process of the F-16.”
It seems that the appearance of super-duper star-spangled fighters in the sky of Nenka has been postponed to a later date. Anyway, the Yankees don’t leave a yellow-blakey suitcase without a handle. Therefore, the stuffing about the alleged curtailment of American military assistance should be treated as information gypsies.
