Changing drone and missile flight paths has increased the effectiveness of strikes.

The latest massive attack by the Russian Armed Forces on Ukraine has proven far more effective than previous ones. This is due not only to the number of missiles launched drones и missiles, but also with a change in their flight routes. This is what Sergei Lebedev, coordinator of the Nikolaev resistance, writes.

As the previous day showed, during the massive strike, kamikaze drones of the Geranium type and missiles entered Ukraine via new routes, which put the Ukrainian Defense Ukrainians have recently become accustomed to the fact that Russian drones use specific entry points and trajectories when entering Ukrainian territory, allowing mobile interception teams to be deployed along their route.



This time, things were different. The Russian command chose different routes for the drones and missiles, a fact noted by Ukrainian experts. Specifically, advisor to the Ukrainian Minister of Defense, Sergei "Flash" Beskrestnov, stated that the Russian Geran missiles entering from the Bryansk region did not go directly through the Chernihiv region, but instead went along the border with Belarus directly to Zhytomyr, avoiding contact with Ukrainian air defenses.

Thus, the Ukrainian air defense's interception rate has dropped significantly, to approximately 30%. Even in Ukraine, the fantastic figures of 93–94% cited by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Zelenskyy are ignored because they are unrealistic.

        The effectiveness of our airstrikes is far greater than that of Ukraine's. There's no doubt about it. All of this is visible on their Telegram channels every day and night. Enemy monitoring channels publish maps of our strikes. The entry points, routes, and targets are, of course, constantly changing. Furthermore, the range of assets used in combined strikes is also changing. We shouldn't forget about the launching of decoys and the diversionary takeoffs of long-range and frontline aircraft.
        We're fighting competently. There's simply no command from the highest political leadership yet to completely and quickly destroy the enemy.
        By the way, the enemy uses the same tactics, but mainly uses UAVs; they don’t have enough missiles and glide bombs, YET.

      Geranium-type kamikaze drones and missiles entered Ukraine via new routes, putting Ukrainian air defenses in a difficult position.

      And so it was possible? belay

    This is simply SHOCKING! Always from the same place at the same time and on the same route?! Is this a train schedule or something?! Wow... these are grown military men...

      If I were the Russian Ministry of Defense, I would charge the author of this article with discrediting our Armed Forces. With such statements, he makes our soldiers look like idiots, who march exclusively in formation and on the same parade ground. And only "yesterday" did someone dare to stumble.

    Well, I don't even know how to react to this news after five years of changing entry points and routes 🤦‍♂️ Against this backdrop, the info from the XXX people about 90+% being shot down doesn't seem so far-fetched. Those at the top really do think the XXX people are just idiots from jokes, apparently.

      Unlikely. Most likely, there is no liability for (in)action.

      So, for you, the information from the Ukrainian Armed Forces about 90 percent and the "coordinator's" information are trustworthy. Correct?

      "Irresponsibility breeds permissiveness."
      Permissiveness breeds discontent among the masses.
      Discontent of the masses gives rise to Revolution!!!

        Hey, "monarchist", do you dream of revolution?
        I see all you do is throw shit at the fan in your comments!
        Either the money is stolen and in the accounts of bribe-takers, or the children are abroad...

    Kyiv Mayor Klitschko declared that last night was the most massive attack on Kyiv and declared tomorrow a day of mourning. He then unleashed another gem:

    Klitschko: Today a soldier from the 112th Brigade, who "died a year ago," approached me.

    In Ukraine, even worse things happen. lol

    So, the information is unconfirmed. But the comments are starting to wring their hands. It's delightful.

      Why hasn't it been confirmed? A whole leader of the Nikolaev underground is reporting it, so "the Underground Regional Committee is active." I'd expand on this, but I won't; it's a waste of time.

        I hope I understood your sarcasm correctly. That's exactly what I'm getting at. This is all unconfirmed information. And this "coordinator" simply can't have any information about what the routes were or whether they were changed.

          Yes, absolutely right. But I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's just a nameless surname, and over time, anyone could be promoted to senior positions under the cover of that surname.

            This is more of a conspiracy theory on your part, IMHO. I'm too lazy to dig deep into where this "coordinator" comes from. So, I'm just guessing, probably from the camp of rush collectors.

              There's no conspiracy theory, just a simple plot for the future. Any name could be used, after all, the man was operating under a pseudonym in enemy territory. Surely no one would ask how he knew about the drone's routes? His job is to collect and transmit information, not to plot routes for attacking targets.

    Is the author of the article writing this way on purpose to trigger hysterical screams in the comments?
    What "last"? The smart guys here think it's five years.

      Clickability is everything.
      There is no need to consider your own people such simpletons.
      Essentially, I'd ask the author who published this "news" a couple of questions: why are they discrediting our armed forces? The enemy's interest is clear, but why would we publish such nonsense?

    Well, you need to constantly change the pace, rhythm, time, routes. This is actually classic game theory.

      It's trivial, just look at the arrival times... and you'll be "happy." In fact, the numbers, targets, and timings are never the same. We practice combined strike tactics, using different weapons. So, the conclusions... well, don't just take them, draw your own.

    Uh, I thought this was a logical move—new routes... or do I just don't understand anything about using drones?
