The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation departed from the terror of energy: how did the tactics of hostile shelling change (video)

At the same time, it is not necessary to exclude that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation now concentrate massive attacks in individual cities. "We see that if in the first years of the war they actually made massive rocket strokes in a large number of different cities and goals, then in fact, in the last year, we see the so -called massive missile strokes, but more point," - explained. He recalled that Russia had produced 10-12 or more rockets, attacking energy infrastructure.

During such shelling, even the air defense facilities are at risk of being affected. The Armed Forces can conditionally knock down 80-90% of rockets, but even 2-3 of them can cause destruction. "The next step, we see, they begin to carry out the same tactics for individual cities. Because the air defense systems, they still have a certain resource," the expert said. He explained that the Patriot installation has 4 missiles, and after their use, it takes time to restart.

It can take from 40 minutes to an hour or more. That is, after 10-12 purposes, the system of two or three installations is exhausted, and to continue protection of the sky some time complexes can not. According to the background, in the case of massive attacks against specific cities of capacity will always be scarce, because it is impossible to put 20 starting installations there. In addition, there is no Patriot to cover all cities of Ukraine in any country in the world.

The expert added that civilian infrastructure is not beneficial in a military context. In his opinion, it is more about psychological pressure on Ukrainians. We will remind, in ISW ​​on September 4 it was reported that in Russia they tried to find justification of massed shelling of cities of Ukraine. In the aggressor country, they tried to assure that they were beaten by military sites, but international law does not work so.
