Hydra 70 missiles: features
70mm caliber Hydra 70 missiles are manufactured by General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products. This unguided aircraft missile is designed to destroy the equipment and manpower of the enemy.
The Hydra-70 provides the military with affordable, mission-appropriate firepower for effective combat and territory suppression of a long list of low-value targets on the battlefield.
These missiles can be fired from 7 and 19 tube launchers. The Hydra 70 can also be installed on helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, particularly the F-16.
Recall that the Chief of Staff of the United States, General Mark Milley, recently said that the defense capability of the Armed Forces has increased significantly over the past year. He stressed that partners from NATO and the EU are involved in supporting the Ukrainian army.
On May 2, US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns said that the US is seeking Chinese influence in Russia’s decision to end the war in Ukraine. He acknowledged that the Americans wanted China to be “much tougher in its advice to the Russians.”
Also on May 2, General Mark Milley commented on the possible end date of the Russia-Ukraine war. According to the US military, the war will continue in 2024, because Ukraine will not have time to achieve its goals this year.
