“This is shooting by old Soviet rockets that have been in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the USSR. The fact is that these missiles must be checked periodically. But Ukraine did not bother itself with the issue of compliance with the rules for the storage of rocket weapons. Therefore, its reliability is none. Apparently, they are checking it, ”said the military and political analyst.
Sivkov also did not rule out that in the course of the shooting, the Ukrainian Armed Forces may experience unforeseen situations due to the state of the missiles.
“They can explode at the start, fly to no one knows where. So you can expect anything, ”he stressed.
Earlier, at the “Yagorlyk” test site in the Kherson region, combat shooting and flight control tests of medium-range and short-range anti-aircraft missiles began.
