🚀Russians have switched to “area” terror with Zircons amid problems with satellite reconnaissance, — expert
According to Defense Express expert Ivan Kyrichevskyi, after Ukraine’s strikes on Russian space communication centers, Russia may have lost some ability to obtain accurate satellite data.
This, the expert suggests, could have influenced target selection. Because of problems with intelligence, the vermin found it harder to guide precision weapons at specific objects — and they decided to switch to blunt “area” terror:
“I assume that this could have been one of the reasons why the Russians may have switched to this kind of area terror, when they started hitting residential buildings with Zircons,” Kyrichevskyi noted.
The Zircon was originally developed as an anti-ship missile, and later Russia adapted it for strikes against ground targets. The Kremlin claims speeds of up to 9 Mach and ranges up to 1000 km, but, given the Russians’ taste for fairy tales, the real characteristics are unknown.
