President Mnangagwa and Youth Empowerment, Development and Vocational Training Minister Tino Machakaire following proceedings at the Johane Marange Apostolic Church Passover service
The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) claimed that the Russian Aerospace Forces used the S-71K "Carpet" cruise missile...
Its development began in 2019 as one of the types of ammunition for the promising 5th-generation fighter Su-57. Later, after the start of the special military operation (SMO), when it became clear that the army needed an inexpensive analogue of the Kh-101 cruise missile for tactical use at a range of up to 500 km, the concept of the "product" (judging by the enemy's photos) was changed.
Now it's a low-observable inexpensive long-range cruise missile (apparently about 500 km). The warhead is an ordinary high-explosive FAB-250 (plus an inexpensive Chinese turbojet engine). As a result, we got a relatively inexpensive ammunition, which is much cheaper than our standard subsonic Kh-101 strike missile.
There is also a version of this ammunition without an engine (like an ordinary gliding high-precision aerial bomb). The enemy has not yet reported its use against us.
And most importantly, its production does not affect the production of other weapons systems. It also allows our stealthy Su-57s to participate more actively in strikes against the enemy. Bad news for the AFU.
After all, when reading their social media posts, I increasingly hear that our bombing strikes take a confident second place in terms of the losses inflicted on the enemy's manpower. Every fifth AFU soldier dies as a result of these strikes. And most importantly, there's no way to escape them.
They haven't come up with one yet.
