What is the peculiarity of the attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine on April 27
As the spokesman of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ilya Yevlash, said, this is one of the first attacks after a brief lull.
Over a period of time, the Russian Federation accumulated its missile reserves. That night, they also used Kalibr from the Black Sea, they managed to shoot down 6 out of 8 missiles of this type.
In addition, according to the speaker, the occupiers began to attack intensively, raised their Tu-95 strategic bombers after the downing of the Tu-22M3.
They took a break for a while. And now they have started again to launch powerful classic attacks on our energy and critical infrastructure, — said Ilya Yevlash.
Also, according to him, the enemy struck quite powerfully, including with the use of "Daggers".
This is a very powerful weapon that is difficult to knock down. We only have certain means that have proven their effectiveness against them, namely, the Patriot can effectively resist, but, unfortunately, we lack these systems in the directions where the hits took place.

At the same time, according to Yevlash, the enemy did not use "shaheda" during the attack.
Yes, there were no "martyrs", as they have been for the past few days. Why so? Apparently, they have their own strategic plan, why exactly they switched to missiles, — summed up Yevlash.
