Air Forces spokesman on new Russian tactics during massive missile attacks

This was announced by Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat on Channel 24.

During massive missile attacks on Ukraine, the Russians began to use false targets: these could be bullets with reflectors, drones, cruise missiles of the Kh-55 type with simulators, but without a warhead:

"It is not visible on the radar what this target is. These are markers on the radar, they must be shot down, because it is not known whether there is a combat unit there or not," the Air Force spokesman said.

• On February 16, Russian troops launched a combined attack on Ukraine using strategic aviation, drones and missile carriers with 8 Kalibr missiles. 

• On the night of February 16, Russian forces attacked Ukraine with missiles: critical infrastructure of Lviv region, objects of Dnipropetrovsk and Kirovohrad region were hit.

• On the night of February 16, Russian occupying forces launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine, in particular, on critical infrastructure facilities.
