There is no advantage in the Russian Federation: Ukraine has the opportunity to attack Moscow - General Ryan

About it in his newsletter was written by General of the Australian Army, retired by Mick Ryan. "The Aviation Agels is located 700 km from Ukraine. Diaghilev base is about 600 kilometers from Ukraine. For comparison, Moscow is about 640 kilometers from the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv," the military explains. At the same time, he emphasizes that having such a weapon does not mean that Kyiv intends to attack Moscow. "But it will cause some sleepless nights in the capital [RF]," Ryan commented.

According to the General, Ukraine is currently taking more active measures to reduce and prevent Russian missile strikes in the country's civilian population and civilian infrastructure. "This is a logical next step. It is not only a military blow, but also a political need," he said. According to Ryan, airfield attack is a way of Ukraine to declare that Russians do not have an asymmetrical advantage with their long -range missiles.

At the same time, the military aviation base is considered a legitimate goal for Ukrainians, as they are used for the task of massive missile strikes in Ukraine. Another important task of such an attack is the psychological effect, says the military. For the most part, the Russians believe that it is isolated from the consequences of war, and the destruction of this illusion should cause them horror.

The military enlightenment of the English -language edition of Forbes David ex, who also refers to Mika Ryan's opinion, in his article emphasizes that the attacks of objects in Moscow can be considered a "honest game" from Ukraine. "After all, Russian troops bombed Kyiv as well as other Ukrainian cities, since Russia has expanded its war against Ukraine since late February," the journalist writes. However, in the Russian capital does not lack the potential strategic goals, specifies ex.

It is already known that at least part of the attacks on December 5 was carried out with the help of modernized Soviet drones Tu-141 "Strizh". And now it is unclear how many such UAVs are in the disposal of the Air Forces of Ukraine. According to General Mick Ryan, 150 such reconnaissance drones were built. "Ukrainians probably have at least something else in the reserve when the right goal for Ukraine will appear at the right time to strike the right strategic blow," he adds.
