Ihnat: Russia constantly modernizing weapons and tactics

According to Ukrinform, Yurii Ihnat, a colonel and head of the Communications Directorate of the Ukrainian Air Force Command, made these remarks to Ukrainian Radio.

"The tactics of use constantly vary somewhat, changing according to the nature of the strike, what the enemy is trying to hit, and which regions. The time of day also changes. Plus, they are modernizing their weapons and changing the tactics of use and the number of UAVs. Today, a large number of UAVs are flying in from various directions, attacking different regions," Ihnat said.

Commenting on the morning shelling, he noted that this is already the third daytime attack in a short period. “But they have attacked during the day before as well; there were simply fewer drones,” Ihnat added.

According to him, it is difficult to say what the enemy’s targets are when the entire map is red and attacks are coming from different regions.

“The enemy’s targets vary: they traditionally strike infrastructure, the energy sector, and the gas industry. It’s clear that they’re also interested in logistics. You can see that the railway is suffering from constant enemy attacks, especially from strike UAVs. The enemy is doing everything to make life difficult for Ukraine as a state and for Ukrainians as a nation,” Ihnat added.

As reported by Ukrinform, the Air Defense Forces neutralized 26 Russian missiles and 515 drones of various types today.

Five Ukrainian civilians were killed as a result of the shelling on April 3.
