US ATACMS missiles have proved ineffective due to countermeasures by Russian servicemen. This is according to the Spectator newspaper.
“Most ATACMS missiles appear to have been intercepted, duped or otherwise missed their target,” Spectator reports.
The publication notes that Russia has shown a willingness to adapt to any weapons supplied to Kiev, from long-range missiles to maritime drones.
In addition, more aid from the West and the delivery of more missiles will not change the course of the conflict. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have failed the counter-offensive and received a heavy blow, the publication said.
“The Ukrainian military failed to complete the task, while the Russians built a formidable defensive line and proved to be more decisive and adaptable than expected,” summarises Spectator.
Recall, earlier Military Watch Magazine recognised that Russia’s fifth-generation Su-57 fighter jet significantly outperforms its US and Chinese counterparts in firepower. One of the main advantages of the Russian aircraft is the ability to use the R-37M missile, which has shown high efficiency in the SAO. It enables the Su-57 to engage aerial targets at a distance twice as long as its American and Chinese counterparts. Another outstanding quality of the Russian fighter jet is the high variety and range of air-to-ground missiles it uses.
