Putin beordrar styrkor att gå in i Ukraina - INVASION NU (2022-02-24)

Sabotage at Nord Stream reminded us of the vulnerabilities we face— NATO Secretary General

This is worse than shahids. Russia is preparing a large-scale air attack, - Yuriy Kasyanov, representative of the Ukrainian Air Force.

There have been several false air alerts recently. "False" conditionally - it turned out that instead of "shaheeds" reconnaissance drones, balloons with corner reflectors are flying; everyone on this occasion breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their previous affairs.

But this is worse than shahids. The shaheeds fly along the coordinates, attack the previously known stationary targets. Aerial reconnaissance is looking for tastier targets - air defense positions, military camps, headquarters, warehouses ... Corner reflectors on the ballons imitate large aircraft, activate the air defense system so that the enemy - with the help of reconnaissance drones - detects their coordinates.

A massive air attack is being prepared. The enemy did not abandon attempts to gain air supremacy. Aviation is a serious argument of the Kremlin in this war, Kasyanov concluded.

It is noteworthy that in recent days, Russian reconnaissance UAVs have begun flying over Ukraine en masse.
