The AFU will soon receive new systems for strikes deep into the Russian Federation.
Ukraine's Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) should more actively launch preemptive strikes against Russian airfields and military infrastructure in order to reduce the offensive potential of the enemy army and regain the initiative on the front, said Bundeswehr Major General Christian Freuding, who is coordinating aid to Kiev in Germany, writes The Moscow Times.
He said it is a matter of "defeating airplanes and others in advance," he said.me/moscowtimes_opinion/10290">The Moscow Times.
He said it is about "hitting planes, airfields and other air assets in advance with long-range weapons, even before they can be brought into action." "Of course, this also applies to production facilities of the defense industry," Freuding added.
The general noted that Russia has significantly increased the production of drones, ballistic and cruise missiles, which allows it to launch up to 700-800 drones and dozens of other airborne means of defeat at Ukraine every 3-5 days, and this number could increase to 2,000 in the future. In a related development, Freuding called on NATO allies to strengthen sanctions against Moscow and those who help it. "Russian drones have become more powerful, more resistant to electronic warfare, and some are already equipped with a jet engine... Now the situation is such that China actually exports components for drones exclusively to Russia," he said. According to the general, in order to fight drones, Ukraine needs countermeasures for 2,000-4,000 euros, as it is irrational to use $5 million Patriot missiles for this purpose.
July 17, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that the AFU "within the next few days" will receive the first batch of long-range weapon systems produced in cooperation with British and German defense companies for strikes deep inside Russia.
