Russian forces have effectively eliminated two American-made ADM-160B MALD missiles designed for deceiving enemy air defense systems. The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the destruction of these aviation missiles, emphasizing that they were not intended for kinetic attacks but rather as a means of deceiving air defense systems. The successful interception and destruction of the missiles were carried out by the Aerospace Forces and air defense systems.
Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov, commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, had previously warned about the threat posed by American Tomahawk missiles, which have the capability to reach targets across most of Russia. The recent destruction of the MALD missiles demonstrates Russia’s ability to counter such threats. The United States has been utilizing Tomahawk missiles since the 1980s, with their most recent deployment occurring during the attack on Syria. However, experts believe that Russia possesses the necessary means to intercept these missiles.
This development highlights the ongoing tensions between Russia and the United States, particularly in the realm of military capabilities. The successful neutralization of the American missile deception systems underscores Russia’s commitment to safeguarding its national security interests. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a strong defense posture in the face of potential threats.
