Have time to recharge your air defense: how Russia tries to strike at one point and what comes out of it

To spread: On the night of July 4, Russia has made the biggest air attack on Ukraine since the beginning of the war - more than 550 drones and rockets have hit Kiev and other cities. The focus has found out if there is a certain systematic hostile attacks when a repeated mass was possible and how to counteract these attacks. On the night of July 4, Russia attacked Ukraine with drones and ballistic missiles, declaring air alarm across the country.

The main blow came to Kyiv, which recorded significant destruction and victims. According to the head of the Air Force Communications Department Yuri Ignat, it was the largest air attack of the Russian Federation since the beginning of a full -scale invasion. According to the Air Force of the Armed Forces, 550 air purposes were released, of which more than 330 - "Shahda", which became a new "record" by their number for one attack.

According to military expert Roman Svitan, the Russian command deliberately avoids systematic in its actions to complicate the Ukrainian forces of the PPU forecasting and preparation for attacks. The expert explains that Russian attacks are complex, planned for a certain time and sequence of actions. Such blows can occur weekly, and their purpose is to overload Ukrainian air defense.

Svitan draws attention to the problem of Russia's point strikes in key cities - Kiev, Zaporozhye, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Sumy, Odessa. According to him, the enemy uses the tactics of "punching" the air defense, focusing strokes at one point, which allows to pass the defense "like a knife through oil". To avoid this, it is necessary to ensure a uniform coating of the entire front line and avoid spraying forces.

"If we drive mobile groups all over Ukraine, someone will be exhausted and someone is out of business. It is unacceptable," says focus Svitan. Military expert Pavel Narozhny, agrees with the words of Roman Svitan that the Russians are constantly improving their methods to find gaps in the air defense system and complicate its work as much as possible. The Narozhny notes that Russian attacks do not have a static scheme.

They use a combination of shock drones such as Shahaned, ballistic and winged missiles, as well as reconnaissance drones that play a key role in adjusting strokes. "Shakhda, then ballistics, and winged rockets. But this is not a fixed system. They constantly mix, change tactics with every attack. This approach is aimed at overloading Ukrainian air defense and using possible weaknesses," the expert explains.

One of the main challenges, according to the rage, is the speed of recharging air defense systems, such as IRIS-T or Patriot, which takes 5 to 15 minutes depending on the type of system. The expert emphasizes that the enemy hopes for ammunition depletion or reloading, which gives him a chance for a successful blow. Particular attention is paid to the role of intelligence drones. "These drones are not just flying. They fix where and how Shahhaned are, analyze the efficiency of air defense.

This can quickly adjust the trajectories of winged rockets or other means of damage, adapting to the actions of Ukrainian defense in real time. They are looking for holes in our aircraft. The Narozhny emphasizes that the static system of attacks in the Russians does not exist. Such variability forces the Ukrainian air defense forces to constantly adapt, which requires not only modern equipment, but also high coordination and training of personnel.

Roman Svitan emphasizes that for effective protection it is necessary to create a dense counteraction system that will cover the entire front line - about 2 thousand kilometers from Odessa to Belarus. To do this, the military expert offers a comprehensive approach. The first line of defense should operate mobile groups, equipped with machine guns, portable anti-aircraft missile complexes (MSRCs), anti-aircraft missile complexes and low range, including drones.

"We have several thousand mobile groups with machine guns, but they need to be strengthened by Multic and SCR, as well as to teach to work with interceptors. All these forces must be combined into a single system that will operate along the front line," the expert says. According to Svitan, the second defense echelon should operate objects of air defense systems, which include medium and long range anti-aircraft missile complexes, as well as aviation-fighters and light-motor planes.

Their task is to destroy the goals that broke through the first line. "Such a mode of operation is the only possible in the conditions of high density of enemy drones," the expert says. He emphasizes that the proposed system can protect against most aero -towns, including drones, although additional measures are needed against ballistic missiles.

He calls for the rapid implementation of a single air defense system that will combine modern technologies, clear coordination and high training of personnel. For effective counteraction, according to Pavel Nazhny, it is necessary to increase early detection systems and increase the density of air defense in key directions. "Intelligence drones are" enemy's eyes ". They need to be knocked down as soon as possible to make it impossible to adjust strokes.

In addition, it is important to improve logistics to quickly recharge your air defense systems and provide sufficient ammunition," the expert emphasizes. The Narozhny calls for a comprehensive approach that combines modern technologies, such as anti -aircraft drones and MAZRCs, with clear coordination between units. "The enemy is constantly looking for ways to get around. We must be faster, smarter and always ready for their new tricks," he concludes.
