The missile strikes that Russia carried out at the beginning of the full-scale invasion were quite predictable. However, the aggressor state is adapting, Officer of the Ukrainian Air Force Command, Colonel Denys Smazhnyi, says in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.
"In the early stages of the war, their attacks were quite repetitive, and they didn’t learn much from their mistakes. But recently, they have been learning very fast," Smazhnyi said.
According to him, the Russians are changing the routes and altitude of all their aerial attack weapons. They are also adjusting their tactics for using ballistic weapons - including North Korean and Iranian-made systems.
"Their strategy is continuously evolving, improving, and synchronizing strikes, and we have to counteract that," Smazhnyi added.
