Ukrainian missiles “Grom – 2” could not successfully hit Crimea due to the inability to bypass the Russian air defense network on the peninsula with a core of three C-400 units. This is reported by the American magazine Military Watch (MWM).
“Entering service in the mid-2010s after many delays, Grom-2 is a relatively standard ballistic missile for the 21st century. It lacks the characteristics inherent in such samples as the Russian Iskander, whether it is semi-ballistic low-apogee trajectories or the ability to maneuver in flight, ”says the MWM material.
It should be noted that Ukraine’s attempt to strike Crimea with Grom-2 missiles testifies to the high priority of the operation, since the strategic peninsula has great symbolic value for both parties to the conflict.
Previously, Ukrainian Ambassador to London Vadym Prystaiko accused the West of paying too much attention to the planned offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as an insufficient supply of weapons.
