Ukraine warned to ‘prepare and stock up’ for Putin’s 500-drone terror | World | News
Russia is preparing a new major drone and missile attack on Ukraine, according to a pro-Kiev military blogger. This comes amid reports that the Kremlin is stockpiling ballistic missiles as US production at Russian arms factories ramps up.
Ukraine has been battered by Russian aerial bombardments that have killed thousands of civilians and caused extensive damage to cities and towns across the country. The frequency and intensity of attacks increased in the summer and autumn as the Kremlin tried to break public morale and support for the war. Russia targeted Ukraine’s civil infrastructure as well as the energy grid that provides electricity and heating.
A Ukrainian military blogger has issued a new warning about another impending attack by Putin’s army.
The new attack is likely to include up to 500 unmanned aerial vehicles as well as cruise and ballistic missiles.
In a post on Telegram, the “eradar” channel wrote: “The enemy has begun preparations (and will most likely complete it today) to launch a massive missile and drone attack on Ukrainian territory.”
For the upcoming attack the enemy plans to include: 4 Tu-95MS from Engels/Olenya airfield; As in the previous attack, from Ukrainka airfield 3 Tu-160s fly from the Far East directly to the launch sites.
“6 Tu-22M3 from Olenya airfield; 6 MiG-31K from Savasleyka airfield. Up to 500 attack UAVs. Ballistic missiles – Kalibrs from 3 naval ships.”
“Looking at the variety of weapons the enemy plans to use in the attack, it can be concluded that the attack will target many targets simultaneously in different parts of our country.
“Probably the enemy will use cruise missiles from Tu-95 and naval aircraft carriers to hit targets in the western part of the country, and missiles and ballistic missiles from Tu-22M3 aircraft to hit the capital and its region.
“Regarding timing, the warning is valid for the next 72 hours (3 days).”
Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin doubled down on his demand for Ukraine to withdraw from Donbas during his trip to Kyrgyzstan.
