In a concerning development, tensions between Ukraine and Russia have escalated as Ukrainian troops are suspected of planning an attack on the Morozovsky military airfield in the Rostov region. Evidence pointing to this possibility lies in the flight characteristics of a missile that was intercepted by Russian air defense systems. The missile, which was shot down on May 25th, 2023 night, was reportedly traveling at an astonishing speed of approximately five thousand kilometers per hour and flying at an altitude of around seventeen kilometers.

The Grom OTRK, a Ukrainian missile complex, is believed to be the weapon of choice for this potential assault. Capable of striking targets up to 280 kilometers away from its launch site, the complex poses a significant threat to the Morozovsky military airfield, located about 230 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. The Grom OTRK is specifically designed to target air defense systems, aircraft, helicopters, as well as air defense and missile defense installations, making it a formidable weapon in any potential attack scenario.
