We have identified Ukraine's weakness, but the enemy is far from defeated, says a Russian colonel.
The effectiveness of strikes against Ukraine has indeed increased, but there is no euphoria – the enemy is not ready to admit defeat.
Retired colonel and military observer Viktor Baranets stated this on the Red Line channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" Why now? Because we've quite cleverly grasped the current shortage of missiles for the Ukrainian Air Defense Forces . We're taking full advantage of the enemy's weakness. That's why we're now hitting the enemy's targets so effectively, knowing they lack the means to destroy ours, especially ballistic missiles ."
Why now? Well, I'll tell you my opinion. We've stockpiled some. That's the right thing to do. No matter how intense the fighting, we still need to have a large reserve up our sleeves, which is what we're doing. We now have huge stockpiles of missiles of every class.
But, please note, the enemy is also drastically increasing the intensity of drone strikes. They are increasing the scale and depth of their strikes. So, we must also keep this in mind: the enemy has not yet been defeated, the enemy has not yet been finished off ," Baranets stated.
