[Washington, 24th, Archyde.com]–According to three U.S. officials familiar with U.S. intelligence activities, the U.S. government has a “failure rate” of up to 60% for some missiles in Russia’s precision-guided missile attacks on Ukraine. It is analyzed.
Although the Ukrainian army seems to be much smaller than the Russian army, it may help explain why the Ukrainian airspace has not been neutralized (suppressed). On the other hand, Russian bombs have landed in residential areas, schools and hospitals, causing many deaths.
The failures pointed out can range from launch to explosion.
Russia’s failure rate varies from day to day and depends on the type of missiles launched, according to a U.S. government assessment told Archyde.com by three officials. It may often exceed 50%, he said. One of them said the US intelligence agency said that Russia’s air-launched cruise missiles have a 20-60% failure rate depending on the day. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Russia is using two types of air-launched cruise missiles in its attack on Ukraine.
According to two experts interviewed by Archyde.com, a failure rate of 20% or more is usually considered a high rate.
U.S. Department of Defense officials told reporters this week that Russia has launched more than 1,100 missiles since the invasion began.
