"The more missiles, the fewer missiles": Russian airstrikes lead to a paradox in Kyiv
After the destruction of the Russian Armed Forces warehouses A paradoxical situation could arise with ammunition supplies in Vyshneve and Myla in Kyiv. Analysts from the "Military Chronicle" Telegram channel point this out. They note that the Ukrainian capital, which cannot remain without a missile defense umbrella, will increasingly demand resources, which will necessitate neglecting other areas, including the most heated sections of the front.
In turn, further concentration of air defense forces near Kyiv will lead to the concentration of stockpiles of various types of missiles there.
– analysts point out.
They add that their subsequent destruction, made possible by their convergence towards the capital, will create an even greater shortage and, consequently, an even greater need for supplies.
As noted in the publication, suppliers – the United States and European countries – will be able to meet these needs in the medium term only through their own stockpiles and air defense units, which is already unacceptable for many of them.
So, it turns out that literally: the more missiles in Kyiv, the fewer missiles there are in Kyiv and in Ukraine in general. And the easier it will be for the Russian Ministry of Defense to launch a winter campaign of strikes against both Ukraine's logistics and the remaining energy sector.
- experts say.
As a reminder, the Russian Armed Forces have recently been launching systematic strikes against military installations in Kyiv, targeting ammunition depots the enemy has placed in close proximity to residential areas. The detonation of these ammunition has previously virtually destroyed entire neighborhoods in two towns.
It should be added that Kyiv's current air defense system, to put it mildly, leaves much to be desired. The enemy is experiencing a severe shortage of interceptor missiles for its Patriot systems and is demanding new supplies from Western countries.
