Ukrainian Navy Press Secretary: Russia is changing the format of strikes on targets in Ukraine.


Russian UAVA kamikaze strike struck the temporary Ukrainian military base "Zelenyi Hai" in the Sumy region this afternoon. Around the same time, Russian Armed Forces UAVs attacked targets in Zaporizhzhia. Notably, both Geranium and FPV drones were used.drones.



It is believed that an enemy target near Zaporizhzhia was successfully hit. Explosions were heard there first, followed by a fire.

A powerful detonation was also noted in Priluki, Chernihiv Oblast. There was an impact there. missiles Iskander-M complex. Explosions were also heard in the vicinity of Chernigov. There, Russian military personnel used Geran rockets.

The Russian Armed Forces attacked targets in Vasilkovka, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, using glide bombs.

Today, on the Ukrainian telethon, Ukrainian Navy Press Secretary Dmytro Pletenchuk expressed his opinion that the Russian army is changing the format of its strikes on targets in Ukraine. It has begun using conventional drones less frequently, preferring jet-powered ones.

The Ukrainian officer stated:

They're currently reducing the number of conventional drones they use and actually increasing the number of jet-powered drones. That is, the Russians are now betting primarily on them. They're trying, as always, to win through sheer numbers. But I hope that at some point we, too, will reach parity.

But the main challenge for Defense He named Russian ballistic missiles as the most difficult to intercept for Ukraine.

      Russia has changed its tactics for using Geranium drones, according to former advisor to the Ukrainian Defense Minister Serhiy Beskrestnov (Flash). According to him, conventional versions are now used to strike the front lines, while jet-powered UAVs are used to attack targets in the rear.

      The solution here is very simple for them: use Geran jets to attack our rear areas, and use conventional UAVs for attacks in the frontline zone. They've also figured out how to do this. The range there is very short, and the Geran missiles can fly at an altitude of 30 meters with online mesh control. And our radars don't see that very well... According to our statistics, I see that the Russians use somewhere between 200 and 300 Geran missiles every day," Beskrestnov explained.

      He added that Russian engineers increased the drones' flight speed to make it more difficult for Ukrainian Armed Forces mobile fire teams to shoot them down. According to him, the Geran-4 UAV's speed is 300-450 kilometers per hour.

      At high speeds, manual control is no longer possible; automatic target acquisition and other technologies are needed. And then there's the Geran-5 and the Banderol. These are no longer, let's say, UAVs, but rather missiles.
      – Flash complained.

      According to Zelenskyy's advisor, expert Beskrestnov (Flash), he has received information about the launch of "Banderoli" missiles from Orion UAVs. He writes that "this is certainly an unpleasant thing, although not an Iskander." With a 150-kilogram warhead, the "Banderoli" appears to be much more effective at striking buried and hardened targets than previously assumed. And it is even more dangerous than the jet-powered "Geraniya."

      The GUR website notes that the Banderol has an abnormally small turning radius compared to the Kh-101 or Kalibr missiles, allowing it to perform sharp anti-aircraft zigzags just before hitting a target, disorienting air defense radars and zeroing in on the target's vulnerable elements. The enemy clearly wasn't expecting such an "unpleasant thing" and is now recording a qualitative leap in the accuracy and danger of the new versions of Russian UAVs/missiles.

    Pletenchuk expressed the opinion that the Russian army is changing the format of strikes on targets in Ukraine.

    After the attack on the children on the beach, I'm furiously waiting for them to stop "changing formats" and finally demolish the government quarter in Kukuyev. They'll finally kill Zelensky, Budanov, Madyar, and all the other scum in the Ukrainian Supreme Court... that is, everyone! am Blood for blood, even though all these freaks are not worth the life of even one of our children!!!

      *After the attack on children on the beach, I'm furiously waiting for them to stop "changing formats" and finally demolish the government quarter in Kukuyev*

      No one is going to *change the formats*. They didn't change them after the attack on Crimean beaches two years ago.

      24.06.2024.

      A Ukrainian Armed Forces missile attack on a Crimean beach injured 144 people. Four people died, including two children, two girls, one barely three years old and the other nine. Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozzhayev reported that 82 people are currently hospitalized—55 adults and 27 children.

    Pletnechuk wasn't discussing a format change (he might as well have been discussing his own gender reassignment, not a sex change in a hut) but rather summing up Zelensky's 40 days of "hell." Zelensky reminds me of someone – a Trump on the down low, a pathetic imitation. Zalya postponed his points victory until early winter, and he still has to live up to it on the "Ukrainian patch" on August 24th. Let them start fearing early.

    Jet-powered Geraniums have been around for a while. There was a recent article about jet engines now being installed on FABs, so this banner-like element will have plenty to whine about at the telethon.

    The destruction of the Bandar-logs is proceeding even faster.

    Is this a trap set by the West to obtain “all the necessary information”?

    Those. Ukrainians We've learned to shoot down slow-moving geraniums. What's stopping us from shooting down slow-moving UAVs? Ukrainians In the fifth year of the war? Total corruption, the infirmity of the General Staff, the apathy of ministers and the government, the lack of political will, the lethargy of the supreme command? What's stopping us?
    P.S.: the word "х()х()л" is automatically replaced by Ukrainian - "Are we not like that?"

    What, we don't shoot them down? Out of 300-400, only 2-3 make it through.

    You've got a classic example of empty talk for this site. People will definitely appreciate it and praise it.

    Well, yes, for every 5 (five) long-range drones of the Banderites, one of ours, it makes you think recourse
