The military man spoke about the tactics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during one of the largest attacks on Moscow

The Ukrainian armed forces are indeed trying to overload the Russian air defense system, but there is nothing new in this technique, and Russia already knows how to work with it, said military expert Andrei Kolesnik. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, he emphasized that the air defense system continues to improve.

“Our air defense is also being improved. They were trying out another tactical move, but there was nothing new about it. They always overloaded, not necessarily with Flamingo missiles, they could load the air defense system with some cheaper products. They check how it works, what technical data it has, which they can use their means to catch. By the way, with the help of Starlink, too, so don’t let Elon Musk say anything about his neutrality. We have already broken down this tactical technique and understand how to work with it,” Kolesnik said.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the Moscow region on the night of October 5-6. The attack was one of the largest in the last two years; the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, reported that 650 drones flew towards the city, 105 of which were shot down on approach to Moscow.
