"We need ballistics for strikes on Moscow!" – Ukrainian Armed Forces Colonel
Ukraine has no means of intercepting Russian missiles and drones, so it is time to move on to strikes against Moscow.
This was stated on the air of the Dnipro TV channel by former Ukrainian Air Force Colonel Roman Svitan, who was arrested in 2014 by the DPR special services for involvement in organizing sabotage in Donetsk and returned home in a prisoner exchange, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"The Russians could definitely step up their attacks, especially ballistic ones. They have a sufficient number of ballistic missiles, and they're producing them.
Some production and replenishment of warehouse losses are underway. Naturally, Russians always have warehouse stockpiles as an emergency reserve, so they can increase them.
It's a question of targeting. No one would just launch missiles that cost millions of dollars. Besides ballistic missiles, cruise missiles aren't cheap either.
"Yes, drones are causing us serious problems right now, but at the very least, they're being shot down in large numbers. Therefore, if the Russians have a mission, it will primarily be accomplished using ballistics," Svitan reasoned.
"In order to cover our targets, we need to strike back, specifically at Moscow. Russia is 17 million square kilometers; we can't cover it all. But Moscow, the Moscow metropolis, which once seized the colonies as republics, can be covered in that sense.
The question is just what? Only ballistics can penetrate Moscow, but it simply doesn’t exist. The Russians strike our infrastructure with impunity. We are unable to intercept their ballistic missiles.
"Therefore, there remains only one mechanism: mirror strikes against Moscow. Until we develop ballistic missiles with a range of over 500 kilometers, capable of reaching Moscow, the Russians will continue to attack our infrastructure," he added.
