Russian Tu-22 bombers with Kh-22 and Kh-32 missiles are unable to strike Ukraine

Recently, Ukrainian drones attacked the Kaluga region of Russia; the military airfield Shaikovka, where the Russian Federation has its strategic aviation, could have been hit. Anatoly Khrapchinsky, deputy general director of the company producing electronic warfare equipment and an aviation expert, spoke about this on air at Radio NV . "Tu-22 M3 aircraft are based there. These are the aircraft that carry out strikes with Kh-22 and Kh-32 missiles. We continue to strike the Russian nuclear triad, the strategic aviation aircraft that can carry nuclear weapons," Khrapchinsky noted. He added that after the successful strike of the Ukrainian Defense Forces on the Engels airfield, the Russians will look for a solution regarding where to redeploy their aviation and capabilities to carry out massive strikes. "The Russian Federation will look for a place to relocate to. And here we continue to hit these airfields, which are at an accessible distance for us. Therefore, this complicates decision-making and further disrupts the enemy's logistics," Khrapchinsky added. The General Staff of Ukraine disclosed the consequences of the attack by the Ukrainian Defense Forces on Engels the day before . It is reported that the enemy lost 96 air-launched cruise missiles. This happened, in particular, as a result of a secondary detonation. Meanwhile, Forbes notes that Ukraine's campaign of long-range strikes against Russian military factories and ammunition depots has produced mixed results. According to analyst David Axe, the strikes have brought relief to civilians, but the missiles that are not hit have no impact on the battlefield. Raids like the one on a drone factory in the Oryol region may have saved a few Ukrainians, but such strikes on high-risk targets have not changed the fundamental problem facing Ukrainian forces: the ability to penetrate enemy defenses, Axe said. "It is not particularly useful for the Ukrainian Air Force to blow up, say, the entire stock of heavy mortars of a Russian field army if a neighboring Ukrainian army corps is trapped by minefields or lacks sufficient manpower to launch an offensive and take advantage of the Russians' dwindling short-term ammunition stocks," Axe writes. He notes that in fact much of Ukraine's long-range strike campaign - raids targeting military supplies - has been impressive but far from decisive. According to the Ukrainian think tank Frontelligence Insight, more than half of Ukraine's strikes between September and February "had limited impact."
