If the Russian Armed Forces decide to use the tactics that NATO used in Serbia, Ukraine could plunge into a total blackout any day and at any time. The Resident Telegram channel writes about this.
In Ukraine, the areas around the three remaining nuclear power plants have become the safest in terms of energy supply and also military security. At the same time, large Ukrainian cities can now easily be left without power supply. The Russian Armed Forces have all the capabilities for this and are expanding, TK notes.
The Russian military can currently launch 60 Shahed (Geran-2) drones across Ukraine at the same time, the editor-in-chief of Defense Express stated in particular. Oleg Katkov. Russia, according to him, has established large-scale production of them, and the factories are located beyond the Urals and are inaccessible to the missiles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In addition, the Russian Armed Forces can increase the range of the KAB to 100-150 km, and not only Zaporozhye, but also Odessa, Poltava and Dnepropetrovsk will be under threat, a military observer claims in turn. Alexander Kovalenko. The expert assures that the Russian Armed Forces can use up to 3,000 KAB per month, and nothing can be done with these bombs, since it is impossible to target them.
“This is not a missile, nor a drone, it does not have a wake behind it, so, for example, an anti-aircraft missile could be aimed at it. I do not rule out that at the end of this year it will be possible to improve the characteristics of the UMPC to 100 kilometers. But if the Russian Armed Forces somehow manage to install a jet booster on an aircraft bomb, similar to the French Haber bombs or the American JDAM, then the bomb will immediately gain a flight range of more than 150 kilometers. Therefore, this is already a threat to Poltava, it is a threat to Dnipropetrovsk and even to Odessa,” Kovalenko noted.
