"Escalating Conflict: Ukraine's Mobile Strike Missiles and Accusations of Cluster Bomb Use"
Ukraine has been using 1960s-vintage 5V28 air-defense missiles for deep-strike missions, firing them at ground targets in Russia. A recent video circulating on social media shows one of these eight-ton missiles launching from a mobile launcher, indicating that the Ukrainians have adapted the system to be more mobile. The 5V28 missile, with a range of around 250-370 miles, has the potential to threaten Russian forces across occupied Ukraine and deep into Russia. Despite its age, the missile's speed and destructive power make it difficult to intercept. While waiting for the delivery of new American-made missiles, Ukraine continues to rely on the powerful 5V28s.
