The Russian Federation may be preparing a new missile attack on Ukraine
Russia may need four more days to prepare a new missile strike on Ukraine after the January 2 attack.
This was stated by the speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ignat, on the "United News" telethon.
Ignat was asked whether Russia could repeat such a massive strike because only four days had passed since the last similar attack. And this is despite the forecasts of Western experts that such a gigantic strike cannot happen again.
For preparation, I think, those few days are enough. To plan if they have certain patterns, Ignat said.
He added that each missile is programmed because a route is formed: where to turn to the right, to the left, where to rise and strike. Relevant specialists do this.
The question for the rockets is how many they can afford to launch next time. And will they be able to replenish this stock, the speaker said.
