Russian Federation tried to expose and bypass air defense systems - Humeniuk on night attack
Kyiv • UNN
In a recent drone attack, Russia attempted to expose and bypass Ukraine's air defense systems, potentially gathering information for further attacks.
During the last not very powerful attack, Russian troops tried to build the routes of their drones in such a way as to both expose and bypass air defense systems, which may be a harbinger of further attacks when the occupiers collect certain information. This was reported by the head of the press center of the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine Natalia Humeniuk during a telethon, commenting on the night attack of the Russian Federation, the correspondent of UNN reports.

"The enemy does not stop terrorizing, the southern and southeastern regions were under attack again. In our operational area, we worked with air defense forces for about three hours, repelling a drone attack, which was obviously aimed at the energy infrastructure again," said Humeniuk.
According to her, two drones entered from the Black Sea in Odesa region and were accurately destroyed, four were practiced by air defense forces in Dnipro region and another in Kherson region.
The very fact that the enemy tried to direct the routes of its drones in such a way as to both expose and bypass air defense systems may indirectly indicate that even such a small attack, compared to other attacks, may be a harbinger of subsequent attacks when the enemy gathers certain information
She recalled that it has already been emphasized that after the destruction of the A-50, the Russians have problems obtaining information, which is why they are intensifying the activities of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
In addition, she noted that the danger from the Black Sea remains as long as the enemy keeps missile carriers there.
"We know that they are equipped with Kalibr missiles. The total volley of the carriers they hide in the bays is now estimated at more than 50 Kalibr missiles, but they are not on combat duty," said Humeniuk.
According to her, before the previous massive missile and drone combined attack, the enemy put an underwater missile carrier on alert, which stayed in the Black Sea throughout the attack and actually returned to its basing point the morning after it was completed. The use of the Kalibr was not recorded.
"It is likely that they carried out the same maneuver before this massive attack, and then they again withdrew the submarines, possibly to distract the air defense," Humeniuk concluded.
