Ukraine defensive strategy: Tochka
Tochka attacks are a primary method of disrupting Russian operations. The Tochka is a dated unsophisticated weapon. During the 1960's the Soviet Union the Tochka was developed as a surface-to-surface missile system. Successive generations of these rockets were the Soviet army’s primary long-range deep-strike weapon for decades. Ukraine has at least 90 Tochka launchers. And up to 500 missiles which have 250-pound warheads. There's no evidence the Russians have been able to destroy any of the launchers, so far. And the large arsenal makes the Tochka attacks the most sustainable. Ukraine inherited the Tockha launchers when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. When the Russian forces attacked Ukraine the rocket-launchers were quickly deployed. On Feb. 25, a Ukrainian Tochka battery struck Russia’s Millerovo air base twice. The base is located 60 miles east of the line of control between Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists' forces in Donbas. At least one Russian Su-30 fighter was confirmed destroyed on the ground. On March 24, an Alligator-class landing ship, Saratov, which belonged to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet was attacked and sank in Berdyansk southern Ukraine. Two landing ships moored nearby also suffered damage and casualties. An ammunition depot in Belgorod, Russia was hit six days later on March 30. This action took place just 20 m, an ammunition depot exploded in Belgorod, just 20 miles from the border with Ukraine in Kharkiv. In the days prior to the blast, videos circulated on-line depicting Russian S-300 air-defense batteries apparently engaging incoming Tochkas.Intelligence from allies
Since early in the war, the US and its allies have been providing Ukraine with intelligence. US officials have all indicated that intelligence sharing with Ukraine was unprecedented since the country is not a NATO partner.
