The Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces complained about the tricks of the Russian army

The Russian Armed Forces actively use electromagnetic pulses to simulate missile launches and deceive the Ukrainian air defense system, said Yuri Ignat, spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, in an interview with the NTA channel. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

According to him, this is achieved by using both conventional missiles and “decoys,” that is, fake targets. “They make such obstacles, that is, electromagnetic pulses that our radar systems see as targets are similar to the Kinzhal in terms of flight parameters. That is, in terms of speed and so on,” complained the speaker of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The Russian army began striking the infrastructure of Ukraine on October 10, 2022, in response to the terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge. Strikes are carried out only on military targets, as well as energy facilities. During this time, air raid alerts in areas controlled by Kyiv are announced virtually every day, and periodically this happens throughout the country.

Jack Watling, a researcher at the British Royal United Defense Studies Institute (RUSI), said that attacks on critical infrastructure will make the winter very difficult for Ukraine. In his opinion, strikes by the Russian Armed Forces against critical infrastructure facilities pose a strategic threat to the Kyiv regime. Watling called on Ukraine to “prepare for a difficult winter.”
