Ukrainian drones attacks on russian radars are the signs that the Defense Forces of Ukraine prepare to increase missile attacks against russia

Editor-in-chief of Ukrainian English-language specialized information resource En.Defence-UA.COM, military expert Valerii Riabykh stated that strikes on russia's territory will be increased not only with the help of UAVs, but also missiles.

The expert expressed this opinion on Espresso TV channel.

"The preparatory phase to hit the territory of the russian federation with long-range missiles is taking place now. This is evidenced by the Defense Forces' attacks on radars in russia. If Ukrainian drones are already reaching such a long distance, this indicates that the routes are being studied very seriously. Apparently our drones are scanning the russian federation's territory for the presence of air defense systems during their flights at such a long distance," Riabykh explained.

Ukrainian expert noted that the strikes on the russian federation's territory will increase.

"The attack on the radar in Orsk that took place today could have been a test case for shelling. Because drones do not have such a large combat load. However, such surgical strikes can cause great damage to russia. It should also be noted that when Ukraine gets long-range missiles, flight missions will be practiced. We can get such missiles from our partners or as part of our own missile program. Therefore, it is possible that strikes on the russian federation's territory will increase not only with the help of UAVs, but also missiles," the expert added.
