so I took the muzzle velocity and the time, and asked chat GPT to adjust for wind resistance and it says this was probably about a 25 km shot. a 155 artillery piece can have a range of 40km with non-rocket assisted extended range ammo
Yeah, if this is scalable it could prove very effective. Lancets have been doing quite a bit of damage due to their longer range. If Ukraine can shoot these down reliably with such cheap munitions, it will greatly diminish Russia's ability to hit targets behind the front.
According to Wikipedia, one S-500 system has a ~ $2.5 billion price tag and it still is unable to protect itself ;)
Destroying one with nearly any ordnance available will give you the best bang for a buck one can possibly get. The murderous thieves may find it very hard to replace these with the sanctions up, which is nice.
