CNN: Russian Federation Has Switched To New Tactics To Attack Ukrainian Cities

Experts and Ukrainian fighters revealed the details.

Russia has stepped up its aerial attacks on Ukraine, launching hundreds of UAVs and missiles overnight, and has changed tactics - the raids are now more concentrated and much harder to deal with, as the drones fly at high altitudes, out of range of machine guns.

This was reported on Sunday, June 15, by CNN, emphasizing that the number of drones Russia is attacking Ukraine with is staggering.

Russia has successfully ramped up domestic production of Iran's Shahed UAV and now launches hundreds of them every day. According to Christina Harvard, a Russia analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, Moscow can now produce about 2,700 Shaheds per month, as well as about 2,500 decoy drones. In addition, the Russians have adapted decoy UAVs in such a way that it is extremely difficult to distinguish them from the real ones.

The agency also quotes a former Ukrainian Defense Ministry official and current co-director of foreign policy and international security programs at the Razumkov Center Alexei Melnyk, who said that the Russian occupiers are concentrating strikes instead of attacking here and there. In this way, the enemy wants to maximize the effect, both psychological and kinetic.

The purpose of the deadly attacks is to undermine the morale of Ukrainians and create the illusion that Moscow is gaining the upper hand in the war, even though it is far from "winning," CNN wrote.

In turn, a fighter of the volunteer drone hunting group Yuriy Chumak told the agency that drones have not only become much more numerous, now the enemy launches them at high altitudes. Whereas they used to fly low, such as along a riverbed, they now come from two to five kilometers above the ground.

"We can see them all. Radars can track them. But it has become impossible to shoot them down with machine guns," the agency quoted Chumak as saying.

According to him, Ukraine now has to use missiles against the drones. However, the effectiveness of the air defense system remains remarkable, the fighter emphasized. Even now about 80% of enemy UAVs are intercepted. But, the agency's interlocutor added, Russia is increasing the number of drones and changing tactics.
