The Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces noted that four days had passed since the last massive Russian missile attack on Ukraine. So, the aggressor country may need this kind of time to prepare a new attack on our country.
Russia may be preparing a new missile attack on Ukraine
Russia may need four more days to prepare another missile strike on Ukraine after today's attack.
This was stated by the speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ignat, on the air of "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, despite the forecasts of Western experts that such a gigantic strike could not 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 — 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 missiles is how many they can afford to launch next time. And will they be able to replenish this stock, the speaker said.
Ignat reminded that the Russians have passed the intact stockpile of missiles and continue to do so.
We see that a lot of Kh-type air-launched missiles were used. They don't use Caliber recently, a very small amount, he clarified.
