Russia reduces attacks on Ukraine’s Kharkiv with guided bombs: prosecutors explain why

Spartak Borysenko, head of the department for countering war crimes at the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office, said this in a comment to Novyny.LIVE.

He recalled that these surface-to-air missile systems are capable of striking enemy aircraft at a distance of over 120 km.

“It was precisely after this that the number of airstrikes on Kharkiv significantly decreased,” the prosecutor’s representative believes.

However, the situation on the Kharkiv border remains tense. The Russian troops continue to actively use guided aerial bombs on Zolochiv, Vovchansk, Kupiansk, and along the entire front line.

In addition, according to Borysenko, Russia is using modern CRPA-type antennas known as Kometa. These consist of eight small antennas and support connections with four global navigation systems: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou.

“If our electronic warfare systems manage to jam one frequency, the drone automatically switches to another. It has become harder to disrupt communications,” explained the representative of the regional prosecutor’s office.

• According to Mayor Ihor Terekhov, in March, the Russian army launched 42 attacks on Kharkiv — 35 with drones and one strike from an Iskander-M missile.
• On the night of March 9, Russia attacked Kharkiv with drones, injuring four people.
