NI: недорогое оружие России делает Запад уязвимым

According to foreign press, cheap weapons manufactured in the Russian Federation, makes vulnerable the West, which in turn depends on complex and expensive weapons.

The portal “Russian spring” with reference to article of The National Interest, said that the foreign experts of the edition believe that cheap Russian weapons makes the West vulnerable.

Note, in the basis of the article NI is the report of the Royal United services Institute for defence studies. In the text of the article States that the assets of the West at great risk because of the military potential of Russia and China. We are talking about the fact that military expenditures of the United States in the defense sphere greatly exceed the military spending of the “potential opponents”. However, it is noteworthy that with all this the West has no guarantees for technological advantage.

In the example of an ordinary British aircraft carrier. Thus, according to NI, for the destruction of the vessel worth $3.9 billion enough volley of ten missiles, which cost $640 thousand per unit.

According to the authors, the main threat comes from budget of anti-ship missiles. This is due to the fact that the carriers are the weak link in the U.S. Navy.

As the author NI does not specify on what the shells, the editors of “Russian spring” made the assumption that we are talking about the Russian missiles “Granit” or hypersonic “Zircon”. Moreover, the list can be attributed the Soviet torpedo “Squall” with the effect of supercavitation. In its range of possibilities includes the evaporation of water on its way to the exalt. That is what makes the ammunition incredibly fast.

In NI concluded that the problem of the U.S. Navy and Britain is in the mood for expeditionary warfare abroad. Meanwhile, Russia and China focused on defense near its borders with Eastern Europe and the South China sea.
