Yesterday there was an event, a symbolism which can be appreciated by those who participated in the RAID our Northern group of forces from debaltseve to mining in 2014.
Then, with all the boldness of conception and audacity of its execution, we were not able to finish "the vacationers" because from the South, from enemy territory has already been worked rocket artillery of the enemy, and then invaded and already the ground forces of the Russian Federation.
Certainly, the symbolism will catch someone who is well-versed in the geography of Donbass, especially in its occupied part. Inside the triangle Zuhres-Shakhtarsk-Kirovskoe is Alder reservoir. Basically it feeds the many keys located on the bottom and contain drinking water supply in several cities. In the old days it was a closed area and in the absolutely clear water bred fish. And yesterday, the Alder got a deeper symbolism than the point which came to our troops.
Sparingly as reports the Ministry of Defence, yesterday was a successful test of the latest tactical missiles "Alder", which was developed by the concern "Yuzhmash". It seems that the article was very interesting and very promising. First and foremost, this is purely our design, which is sharpened on domestic components. But most likely, it is not quite so. In fact, it is clearly about the absence of parts of the Russian Federation, but something could be there with the brand manufacturers from the US or Israel, but this one and not say anything. Perhaps this is one of the guidance systems. But if so, it could not be called "lethal weapon." Lethal will have all the product – rocket, and some of its components – not as lethal as counterbattery radars, for example.
There is nothing surprising. "Yuzhmash" half a century ago launched rockets far more high-class as in range and warhead weight, thrown thousands of kilometers. Suffice it to say that the famous and unparalleled "Satan" is the brainchild of "Yuzhmash."
But in this case the information is of such a nature that the machine is really unique. According to rumors, "Alder" is a platform capable of carrying various types of warheads, which operate on land, sea and even air targets. If so, we can only present the possibility of maneuvering missiles, for the defeat of high-speed air targets is a major challenge.
It is also very pleasing weight of the warhead, which will be mounted on a missile. As reported by various sources, Wes warhead can exceed 480 kg. From this we can conclude that the missile is able to deliver not only high-explosive, cluster and thermobaric munitions, but also special, including nuclear. Here we will not go into the topic where Ukraine can take a few nuclear warheads, which can go up to the new missile. On this account there are different assumptions, but all depends on the will of the government and the Treaty on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons.
Here there is an interesting conflict that can be resolved by Ukraine is different and in completely different ways. For example, under the Budapest Protocol, Ukraine has refused from own nuclear weapons and not just refused, and gave it to Russia. For this, USA, UK and Russia pledged to guarantee the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. In fact, element is only a part of the Treaty Ukraine gave Russia everything is based? – ed.) nuclear weapons. The second part of the contract, in terms of guarantees of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, not only fails, but immediately and directly flouted one of the guarantors. In this case, Ukraine has every right to denounce the agreement and to abandon nuclear-free status, with all its consequences.
Another conventional restriction, which in principle applies to Ukraine. We are talking about the restrictions imposed on the possession of missiles short and medium range. Roughly speaking, the idea was that countries should:
— not to produce, not to test and not to deploy ballistic and cruise missiles, ground-based medium-range (1,000-5,500 kilometers);
— not to produce, not to test and not to deploy ballistic and cruise missiles, ground-based short range (500 to 1000 kilometers).
So, the range of "Alder" claimed 400 km. However, many observers claim that the products have a huge margin of safety, as the weight of the warhead and range. Thus, the available at the disposal of the press TTX can show minimal missile capabilities and what she can give at maximum – very big question.
Here, another important point. Ukraine is in a state of reflection of aggression on its territory. Therefore, all limitations to weapons systems can considered from the perspective of implementing the numerous commitments that are not met by the world's leading States with regard to Ukraine, so she may choose to replace the outstanding guarantees, its own defence, including using rockets, the ability to cripple strategic targets deep in enemy territory.
Until yesterday we had no such opportunity, but it seems that a bird flew and flew confidently. Since then, the enemy must realize that it can fly a highly maneuverable missile and bring on its wings Hello very unexpected properties.
Fans to talk about the laughter of Iskander's time to think about what they can be shadowed by Ukrainian "Alder". It's time for a new symbolism.
