the enemy is quite limited episodically, in fact, if you take the official figures from the air force commandir formations, then we are talking about a single use there in a month, maybe there is one... or two such missiles in total, there are months when they are not used at all, er, that is, the important aspect here is that the attack on chernigov with seven missiles, that is, the same situation here, as, for example , strikes on kharkiv, strikes on sumy, that is, a very small distance from the border, in fact, the impossibility of creating an appropriate, much-mad air defense, that is, they had a flight time, and in the case of launching a rabbit missile under iskander. there are no such signs as, for example, the lifting of the tu-95s into the air, when everyone understands that they are taking off, they arrive there from the eleni airbase, there they fly into the caspian sea, it takes hours, after that it is fixed... the launch, it is warned that missiles will be in the air every day or in a few hours, and everyone has time to prepare. in the case of launching from such cruise missiles
