Instead, modernization is aimed at increasing harm to unprotected objects, including residential areas, in order to increase the number of casualties among civilians.

"Now they increase the combat part of the elements that can damage more in unprotected objects. It can be a living force <. . . > will cause more harm at the expense of small metal elements," - said Yevlash.
