“These are not just any old Soviet Kh-22 missiles, these are missiles that were designed to deliver nuclear strikes.”

According to him, the missiles do not have the accuracy that they would like to have.

The Kh-22 is a Soviet supersonic anti-ship cruise missile launched from a bomber. The stated firing range is about 500 km, although, in reality, the range is shorter due to the need to capture the target. When using a nuclear warhead and launching a missile in the area of the target, its accuracy is not of significant importance. Due to its high speed, only modern anti-missile systems or anti-aircraft systems that directly cover the target can destroy the Kh-22.

Given the characteristics of this missile, it can be assumed that Russia is engaged in missile terrorism since the Kh-22 cannot hit a specific target.
