Drone alert over Mykolaiv: Russia's attacks reach new height!
Alarming reports of Russian drone attacks are again increasing in Ukraine, particularly in the Mykolaiv region. This city has been targeted in recent nights, while air alerts sounded across the country's eastern and southern counties. Warnings of attacks extend over the regions of Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, as well as over the Black Sea towards Odessa, as Stuttgart News report. Shahed drones in particular were reported during the night, a development that indicates the ongoing intensity of the conflict.
The focus of the attack was on the city of Mykolaiv, where, according to local authorities, a hotel and a power supply facility were damaged. Fortunately, there were no injuries, said Governor Vitaly Kim. In the latest wave of attacks over the weekend and the following night, attacks reached a worrying intensity not seen since the beginning of the war. This highlights the escalation of military conflicts in the region, report several outlets, including daily news.
Current wave of attacks
In recent nights, Ukrainian air defense has carried out a massive number of anti-drone operations. On one of the last nights, 81 of a total of 112 Russian drones were intercepted, while 31 drones reached their target. This shows that Ukraine's electronic jamming defenses have become more effective, although the intensity of attacks remains high. Western observers report adapted, refined techniques that are used both in air defense and in attack methods.
The way Russian armed forces are deployed has also changed over time. They are increasingly using inexpensive Shahed drones that come from Iran. These drones, which fly relatively low and can carry an explosive charge of up to 60 kilograms, are vulnerable to fire and therefore require sophisticated tactics to outwit Ukrainian air defenses, such as n-tv reported.
Strategic Tactics
Russia has begun deploying more and more decoy drones that look like real Shahed drones but do not carry explosive devices. Your goal is to open the airspace to real attack drones. This forces the Ukrainian air defense to constantly find new solutions to defend itself and respond to unexpected attacks. These tactics have a significant impact on the efficiency of air defense, which has a lower kill rate during large-scale attacks.
Ukraine has been fighting the Russian invasion for more than three years, and the situation requires constant adjustments and strategies to ensure its own security. In view of the recently observed attacks, it is clear that the conflict is far from being resolved and that the conflicts in the region are increasing in intensity.
