The next attack by the occupiers on Ukraine could set a record since the beginning of the full-scale war.
This was reported by Alexey Hetman, a veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and reserve major, during a broadcast on Radio NV. According to him, since the massive strike on August 26-27, when around 200 targets were detected in the sky over Ukraine, the Russians could have produced at least 200 missiles.
He specified that in some estimates, the number reached 250-300 missiles, as well as a significant number of "Shaheds." Hetman warns that the next attack could double the size of the August one.
Speaking about potential targets, the reserve major noted: "The entire territory of Ukraine is at risk, not just the border or frontline regions. In a potential strike, the Russians may use guided bombs and short-range missiles, such as modified anti-aircraft missiles for the S-300."
Hetman suggested that Russia is planning such attacks ahead of the cold weather, anticipating the onset of cold temperatures before December. He added that the likelihood of such a large-scale attack depends on the global situation.
"The goal of such strikes is to exacerbate problems with heating and electricity in Ukraine as the cold sets in. They are likely just waiting for the right moment," concluded Hetman.
He also pointed out that Russian forces are preparing for challenging weather conditions in winter when movement across the fields will become impossible.
"It will start raining now, winter is coming. And we have thaws during winter. Moving across the fields will be nearly impossible. We need to control the roads that can be used for transportation and supply what is necessary," the expert notes.
