"The nuclear triad of the Russian Federation has lost its potential": there will be missile shelling of the West of Ukraine - expert

The intensive shelling that Kyiv has undergone on May 16, apparently, will continue, according to the UK's defense expert Marina Myron. However, the Russian military leadership will have to act rationally because "calibers", "daggers" and "Iskander-M" end. The night shelling, which the Ukrainian capital suffered, was relatively intense, but it is the expected tactics of Russian troops, said British defense expert Dr. Maryna Myron, Sky News reports.

"We know that Russia's nuclear triad has lost its restraining potential. So it is the best of their available options," she said. Dr. Myron believes that such shelling will continue, but the Russian military command will have to approach the use of resources rationally. "Rockets (" calibers "," daggers "and" Iskander-M ") are expensive and complex in production, so the Ministry of Defense should be careful when planning the next strokes," she added.

In her opinion, the Russians will attack logistics units, control centers, ammunition depots, etc. The expert says that it is difficult to predict what the purpose of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is for their next blow, but "most likely it will be somewhere in the west of Ukraine, far from the lines of the front. " Another tactic they can resort to is the launch of rockets and drones in order to create a load on Ukrainian air defense and deplete rocket reserves.

According to published documents, Ukraine has difficulty air defense than the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation may be trying to use. The overall goal, the expert explained, is to destroy the Armed Forces opportunities for a successful counter -offensive or complicate the counterattack as far as possible. We will remind that according to journalists estimates, the night shelling of Kyiv "to the dagger" and winged missiles cost the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation $ 120 million.
