Ukrainian air targets destroyed by Russian air defense in the Ukrainian war— in depth analysis

Compared to the data of a report a month ago (08/10/2022), one can observe a change in both the range of downed air targets and their quantity.

In particular, over the past month, the Russian Defense Ministry did not report the interception of a single Smerch MLRS rocket (300 mm). Instead of this rocket projectile, the reports began to regularly include interceptions of unguided rockets of the Alder MLRS (300 mm), modernized on the basis of the Soviet Smerch MLRS by Ukraine.

This ammunition was developed by the Kyiv Luch Design Bureau in 2016-2018. Its main feature, in comparison with the old Smerch MLRS rockets, is an increase in the maximum firing range from 70km to 100km. At the end of 2019, the first batch of 100 missiles was delivered to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In subsequent years, before the start of the NMD, the production of missiles did not exceed a few dozen a year.

Due to the fact that the first mention of the interception of Alder appeared only on 07/27/2022, it can be assumed that the current missile launches can be carried out both from previously formed reserves and from fresh batches of missiles, the production of which was not disrupted by airborne strikes against enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine (in particular, KB "Luch"wink

Separately, it is worth noting that there is a significant increase in the number of launches of guided missiles from the American M142 HIMARS MLRS. Over the past month (August-September), Russian air defense systems shot down more than 5 times more shells than in the previous similar period (July-August). This circumstance suggests that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have a large number of both HIMARS launchers and ammunition for them.

The American AGM-88 HARM high-speed anti-radar missile has become a new type of air target for Russian domestic air defense systems. The relatively small number (14) of downed missiles of this type is due to the lack of use by the Air Force of Ukraine, caused by an acute shortage of firing platform vehicles (which is the MiG-29)

In general, two main trends can be noted to the operation of Russian air defense systems in the zone of the Russian military operation:

1️⃣ Monthly increase in the number of destroyed air targets, caused by the increased intensity of shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Which may indicate both the increased skill of air defense calculations of the Russians, and the increase in the number of air defense systems in the conflict zone.

Destroyed air targets declared by the RF Ministry of Defense by periods:

February-July - 646
July-August - 311
August-September - 611

That is, over the past month, air targets of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (611) were humiliated. In the last month alone, Russia shot down a comparable number of targets to all shot down targets in the first four months of the conflict.

2️⃣ An increase in the share of new Western and Ukrainian reactive munitions — by total volume of intercepted air targets by Russian Air Defence Systems: On August 10, 2022 their number was 8% of all downed missiles and UAVs, then on September 13, 2022 their share increased to 34%, a 400% increase.

Adding to our analysis on Russia potentially upgrading the “Special military operation” to an “anti terrorist operation” — this report just came out by Russian state media:

Kiev’s attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant are terrorism, says Duma chairman Volodin

Ukrainian attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant are creating an unacceptable danger of radiation release, chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin said on Tuesday. While the US doesn’t seem to care about the potential damage to Ukraine and its European NATO allies, Moscow will act to prevent this disaster from happening, the speaker of the Russian parliament said.
“Kiev’s terrorist actions are putting the world on the brink of a nuclear catastrophe. We cannot allow this to happen,” Volodin said, opening the legislature’s autumn session.
The US may be far away from the ZNPP, while “their NATO allies in Europe stand to suffer” in case of a radioactive release, Volodin pointed out. The US and EU parliaments are silent about the threat, but many other states around the world share Russia’s concern about the situation, he said.
Russia has controlled Europe’s largest nuclear power plant since March. Attacks on the facility started in July, with the Russian Defense Ministry documenting more than 30 artillery and drone strikes, as well as two attempts by Ukrainian commandos to storm the plant, one during the visit of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) mission earlier this month. Kiev has accused Moscow of staging the shelling to make Russia look bad, even though the Ukrainian military eventually admitted to targeting the area.

If Europe hadn't teamed up with America & Australia and pushed the monster out of Ukraine it would have been food and energy crisis.
