The thermobaric munitions used by the "Shaheds" constitute a weapon of terror, and our people are already suffering casualties from it.
This was stated by military expert, retired Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Sergey Grabskiy, in an interview with Politeka Online.
"Thermobaric munitions do not have the penetrating effect of fragmentation or high-explosive shells; they are not designed for total destruction of a target. They operate on a somewhat different principle, so I can confidently assert: this is a weapon of terror," – Sergey Grabskiy declared.
The military expert pointed out that the adversary employs this weapon as a method of intimidating our population, aiming to strike at the very consciousness of our people.
"Failing to achieve the desired results on the battlefield, the enemy, in the context of hybrid warfare, seeks to defeat Ukraine by exhausting the population, conducting a multifaceted, layered struggle.
Thus, it should be clear to everyone: there is no other way to protect oneself from attacks by 'Shaheds' or missiles except by staying in a bomb shelter; therefore, we cannot afford to ignore this. Any report of casualties published regarding the deaths or injuries of individuals indicates that all those who lost their lives, may their memory be eternal, or were injured, may God grant them health, were outside of shelters," – Sergey Grabskiy added.
