It is currently considered safer for the Russian occupiers to utilize ballistic weapons instead of aircraft for attacks.
This was stated by Oleksandr Olekhnovych, a public relations officer of the Ukrainian Air Force Command.
«Ballistic weapons have become the preferred method for the enemy to conduct attacks. There has been a decrease in the use of aircraft. However, with ballistic weapons, their installations are not as exposed to risk or are minimally involved. Consequently, they can target our cities and infrastructure with ballistic missiles more safely», — explained Olekhnovych.
