In the event of NATO attack, Russia will be able to destroy key air basements.
“Orezhnik” poses a great threat to NATO aviation / photo – screenshotThe use of a great -range ballistic missile can change Russia’s strategy in a potential future war with NATO and become a truly significant threat. According to Foreign Policy, in a conflict where forces are dispersed in large territories, as in the case of Ukraine, such an expensive rocket is a bad choice. However, it is ideal for attack on air tights, where its sub -erasers can cause significant harm.
“In the war with NATO, Russia is likely to attack the Alliance in the first days of conflict. Russia knows well about the advantage of NATO in the air and hopes to give its forces a break by destroying – or at least delaying – NATO’s ability to react,” FP notes.
Analysts point out that modern fighters, especially F-35, are too difficult to repair in the field. And decades of budget abbreviations have concentrated NATO’s military-air forces only on a few bases, which made them exceptionally vulnerable to the “enemy” ammunition.
According to FP, the war in Ukraine demonstrated that Russian missiles equipped with ordinary warheads could not fail key Ukrainian air bases due to a combination of low accuracy and successful Ukrainian air defense. However, “Oebushnik” helps to solve this problem:
“Based on the actions of Russia in Ukraine, dozens of ordinary Iskander missiles may be required to destroy aircraft on large airways. Much fewer” enemies “will be required to achieve a similar effect.
According to experts, the use of “eagle” will give Russia more non -nuclear options, reducing the risk that the Kremlin will think about the use of nuclear weapons at an early stage of conflict. However, in Russia there will be more opportunities to significantly disrupt NATO operations.
The problem is that the current European defense will do little to protect against the “eagle”. Despite the fact that many NATO bases are protected by a multilayered anti -missile defense grid, “Oeroshnik” can fly higher than the interception of most systems and land too quickly for most interceptors at the end stage, such as Patriot air defense. Turns that can stop the “enemil”, namely Arrow 3 and SM-3 Block IIA systems, are likely to be used in limited quantities if current procurement trajectories are stored.
“No matter how the war in Ukraine end, in decades or two NATO may encounter Russia -re -armed with a renewed arsenal, in which large ordinary ballistic missiles, such as” Orezhnik “, occupy a prominent place,” FP notes.
Thus, NATO should start preparing for this now, making its main air basements less attractive for Russian missiles. This can be achieved by dispersing planes in remote places – minor runways and highways and highways throughout Europe.
Orezhnik rocket – newsAs reported by UNIAN, for the first time Russia attacked Ukraine by an “eagle” on November 21, 2024, the Dnieper was shot. Putin then called it a “response” to the use of US and British missiles by Ukraine.
The other day, the Belarusian dictator Oleksandr Lukashenko has announced that the country is already completing the production of several starting installations for rockets of the Russian complex “Orezhnik”.
