Russia changes tactics: mass missile strikes focused on a few targets

Change in fire strike strategy

The Russian Federation has implemented a new approach to conducting mass missile attacks. Instead of the traditional dispersal of fire across numerous objects, the enemy concentrated a large number of cruise missiles on a limited number of targets — up to three. This is evidenced by data from monitoring resources.

A similar tactic applies to ballistic missiles, which were also aimed at several specific objects.

Attack features and possible intentions

The number of unmanned aerial vehicles involved in this attack was relatively small compared to previous waves of strikes. Monitoring resources indicate that this may be a sign of preparation for a large-scale UAV attack on western regions of Ukraine.

It was previously reported that strikes were carried out on energy infrastructure objects, as well as on commercial warehouses.
