Russian troops began to attack Ukraine more often with ballistics. Occupiers understand the capabilities of Ukrainian air defense to destroy kamikaze drones and cruise missiles, so they are looking for other methods of terror.
Russia attacks Ukraine more often with ballistics
The Air Force spokesman, Colonel Yuriy Ignat, said on the air of the telethon that Russia more often uses missiles that fly along a ballistic trajectory. These are "Iskander-M", aeroballistic missiles "Kinzhal", "X-22", and S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles.
He noted that the Russians understand the capabilities of Ukrainian air defence to destroy Shahed-136 kamikaze drones and cruise missiles.
Therefore, the enemy resorts to the use of ballistics, which can be shot down only by special means, and we do not have many of them, — explained the Air Force spokesman.
