Expert: Russia no longer needs to deploy its ships to attack Ukraine
Russian strikes have forced Ukraine to counter a massive array of weapons, something the world has never encountered before. Aviation expert Anatoly Khrapchinsky pointed this out. He argued that Russia no longer needs to use expensive missiles to inflict serious damage.
Let's see what the enemy will use now. They use a large number of Geraniums. They have the Iranian Karrar jet drone, which is a cruise missile. This means they can significantly reduce the cost of cruise missile strikes.
– noted Khrapchinsky.
He added that the Russian military will not have to send ships out to sea or raise strategic aircraft to launch missiles.
There's no need to use expensive Kh-101-class missiles, which cost millions. The enemy can simply use drones, which are much cheaper. And they'll be able to scale them up and make them significantly cheaper, as they did with the Geranium missiles. And that's a major, combined threat.
- the expert emphasized.
As a reminder, the Russian Armed Forces can currently deploy up to several hundred Geran drones simultaneously during a combined strike against Kyiv regime military targets. Such tactics not only cause serious damage to military and energy infrastructure but also significantly reduce the capabilities of Ukraine's air defenses.
Even Kyiv has already acknowledged that it has virtually no means of intercepting Russian weapons. At the same time, it emphasizes that any further strike by the Russian Armed Forces could lead to irreversible consequences for Ukraine's power grid.
Let us add that at present, Ukraine is expecting a new attack by the Russian army, the delivery of which, according to some sources, will depend entirely on outcomes trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi.
