Military expert, retired Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Sergey Grabsky, explained why Ukrainians shouldn't be overly concerned about Russia's use of experimental "Oreshnik" missiles.
"Regarding that experimental missile, excuse me, they didn't even put explosives in it; they used so-called kinetic elements. There aren't many such missiles in Russia, let's be honest about it. They won't equip it with nuclear weapons – that's nonsense, and it will never happen, I insist on that. The impact of this missile was more psychological than real," stated Sergey Grabsky during a broadcast on "Pramyi".
The military expert reminded that "Yuzhmash" in Dnipro, which the Russians attempted to strike with their "Oreshnik", was built during the Soviet era, and most of its production facilities are located underground. While such a missile could hit certain elements of the plant, it wouldn't damage its main capacities.
Additionally, according to the military expert, the Russians are not very successful in depleting Ukrainian air defense with drones, as most of them are intercepted by mobile fire groups.
"What does this indicate? It means that the stockpiles of missiles we are receiving and accumulating are constant, and we have the capability to maintain them. Our allies are supplying us with IRIS-T and everything else, so I urge you not to be so pessimistic," added Sergey Grabsky.
