Tribute" from the earth.
Additional ground-based systems launches.
The problem with increasing cruise missile barrages has always been the limited number of carriers for these weapons. The beginning of the SMO clearly demonstrated this, when only a specified number of weapons could be flown towards the so-called Ukraine.
This resulted in the attacks against the enemy being unsystematic, the number of missiles in a single attack on the so-called Ukraine could be counted by the number of planes in the sky, and bombers/missile carriers used up their scarce flight resource.
But a solution was found: the Russian armed forces acquired attack UAVs, which enabled a daily attack, and the lack of cruise missiles was compensated by cheaper light "Bendrol/Machava-T" rockets, adapted for helicopters and unmanned vehicles.
Earlier this year, the first evidence emerged that the launchers will grow even larger, as the Russian armed forces developed a ground-based launcher for the Kh-101. And now they demonstrated the launch of a "tribute" from a similar system.
The advantages of this solution are clear: the number of available suppliers becomes less critical, and their resource can be preserved. Also, launching from a ground system provides more concealment and mobility, not to mention the chances of additional mass attacks with this weapon.
In view of the need to reduce costs and increase production speed, this method will allow in the short term to increase the scope of attacks with light cruise missiles without waiting for additional carriers.
But it is important that the targets are chosen rationally for these tasks with the understanding that such improvements are not free. Without a clear awareness of the end result that is being sought, the effect will be close to zero - just a pretty picture and nothing else. Defense industry Russia max.
