 Russia strikes Ukrainian ports with Onyx anti-ship missiles. How can Ukraine counter them? After the so-called grain agreement was broken on July 17th, Odessa became the target of massive missile strikes of Russia. Almost every night, since July 18th, Russia has been launching missiles at the city's port infrastructure and Odessa's downtown, according to the Kiev Post. It is noted that this time, the Russians attacked the city with Kh-22, Kh-59 caliber and Onyx missiles. The port infrastructure of Odessa and Chornomosk, which were involved in grain exports, was badly damaged. Nearly 60,000 tons of grain ready for shipment were destroyed along with a warehouse with peas. Missile attacks on civilian infrastructure, ports and grain terminals are another Russian war crime in Ukraine. The Onyx anti-ship missile was designed to be a universal missile. It has shared compatibility with aviation, navy and ground forces, and it has the ability to strike not only ships at sea but also targets. On land. The Kiev Post writes that one should also remember that Onyx is almost three times faster than Kaliba. Ukrainian S-300 air defense systems can spot a target of this size at an altitude of up to 15 meters only from a distance of 21 kilometers. The Onyx will take about half a minute to cover this distance. For more accurate calculations, it is necessary to add the time needed to detect a fairly small object, capture it the time to take and process a decision as well as the time to launch the anti-aircraft missile itself and the time it will take to reach the target. It is also important to account for the channelization of air defense systems, that is, for the number of objects that the complex can simultaneously attack, as well as the total number of weapons, reports Defense Express. Yuri Ignat, the spokesperson of the Air Force Command, said it is hardly possible to shoot down a missile flying at such a speed and at such a low altitude with the means at our hands. He also said that this missile can be influenced using electronic warfare and added that not all missiles reach their target. It is highly probable that the MIM-104 Patriot air defense system and the French SAMP-T anti-missile defense system would be effective against Onyx missiles.
