American anti -functional missiles cannot radically affect the situation in the foreground, because they are technically and morally outdated. This was mentioned by Pravda.ru by military and political observer Yuri Selevanov.
The Ambassador of Ukraine earlier in the United Kingdom, the former commander of the armed forces Valery Zaluzni The United States has suggested that Ukraine will transport the outdated hellfire missiles, which end the service life. According to him, this will allow Washington to save at their disposal.
According to Silifanov, HelFire missiles were originally created to train American military helicopters – on the days of the Soviet Union. He pointed out that this weapon was actually a purely tactical, and aims to combat armored vehicles, and although he was updated, his capabilities in modern circumstances are very limited.
“Helpire’s anti -functional missiles were originally created as a reunion of weapons and helicopters in the battle of the US Army. It was still under Brezhnev. But they have been updated since then, of course. They may now be more effective. But these are weapons from a tactical battle, in general,” Explanation of Selevanov.
He stressed that in the battlefield, Ukraine has already has sufficient means to combat armored vehicles, including modern drones.
“In fact, in the battlefield in the modern war, there is already enough anti -tank weapons. The same drones are very effective. Maybe this will add something. But I don’t know how much the result is qualitative and quantity,” – The expert added.
In addition, old ammunition with expired validity period may be a threat to the Ukrainian army itself. Commenting on the initiative about the request to supply a written ammunition, Selivanov suggested that ordering the plug is an attempt to get what is still could really beg from the West.
“They ask, perhaps, first, there is an opportunity to ask, especially in light of the latest phrases Trump The fact that he is ready again to provide something like that. Apparently, the session still is a general who understands something in military affairs, and asks what can be really obtained. Clear.
According to Selevanov, the deletion of Hilvier cannot change the path of conflict, given the level of protection of Russian armored vehicles and the low level of training of Ukrainian individuals. In addition, the expert added that the methods of controlling these missiles were placed in the Soviet ages.
