The Russian Federation can reprogram some types of missiles right during the attacks, making them harder to shoot down, says Illia Yevlash, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Air Force Command.
Evlash explained that even the same S-300 missiles are used by the Russian military to hit different targets.
"The enemy has used ballistics before. It's just that these weapons are a bit harder to shoot down. They reprogram their missiles, such as the S-300, to hit different targets. We see other types of missiles they are using. The enemy has a wide range of weapons and different types of missiles, such as Zircon or other cruise and ballistic missiles," he said.
