“We have missiles that will bury the offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces” - Sladkov
Russia has not yet used a fairly wide arsenal of missiles and bombs during the Northern Military District in Ukraine.
Russian military correspondent Alexander Sladkov said this on air on the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Sladkov acknowledged a fairly competent information war on the part of Ukraine, but believes that, if necessary, the Russian Federation is ready to use heavy weapons to stop the promised offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“They haven’t lost their minds. They are waging an information war that is quite stable in its intensity. They announced 8 directions of offensive action, and then announced that they would use their forces in only one direction out of eight.
They constantly commit provocative or sabotage actions on the front line. They are trying to break through the front line, to bite harder - that’s what it is.
But, excuse me, the concentration of so many troops, we had BM-13 Katyushas that fired at a distance. Understand? And now we have missiles that can simultaneously bury all of these people, adapted for the offensive,” said Sladkov.
“Yes, but we don’t use everything yet,” the radio host noted.
“Reality is more cruel, unpredictable and offensive. That’s why we are waiting,” the military correspondent replied.
“I wonder what we haven’t used yet, besides nuclear weapons?” – voiced the leading question of one of the radio listeners.
“We did not use operational missiles, we did not use Voyevoda with non-nuclear reserves, we did not use many, many air-to-ground missiles, we did not use naval missiles, we did not use 9-ton bombs on a full scale. We didn't use a lot of things.
I spoke with prisoners last week who were sitting at Azovstal and waiting until they were allowed to turn into prisoners. And, having waited for this, they left. I talked to the first and third prisoners, and they told me that the worst thing was aerial bombs. Not missiles, not ATGMs, not SPG-9, not RPG-7 grenade launchers, but bombs. We also don’t use them very often,” explained Sladkov.
