Russia has changed the tactics of missile strikes against Ukraine and is moving to less frequent but more massive strikes. This was reported by the UK Ministry of Defense, citing an analysis by British intelligence. Part of the British intelligence report was published on the social network "X", FOCUS reported.
The British have analyzed the missile strike that the Russians carried out on the night of December 12-13. As with the attacks in November and earlier. Russian forces used strategic and tactical aircraft to launch cruise and ballistic missiles.
At the same time, Kalibr missiles were launched from the sea, and numerous kamikaze drones were launched from the ground. In total, about 90 missiles were used, along with at least 180 drones.
British intelligence emphasizes that since August, Russia has not carried out missile strikes, but has been accumulating missiles to carry out several powerful waves of attacks. This is a significant departure from the tactics used by the Russians at the beginning of the year: more frequent but smaller attacks.
In addition, Russia maintains a certain stock of missiles for small-scale attacks, which are carried out for demonstrative "punitive measures".
