On the morning of November 11, Russia practiced a simulated missile launch tactic. The enemy is fully prepared for a massive attack on Ukrainian territory, according to the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), Andrii Kovalenko.

"As I mentioned, Russia is fully prepared for massive attacks. They have enough missiles, which are stocked at strategic aviation airfields and continue to accumulate. The aviation is also ready," Kovalenko wrote.

According to the head of the CCD, the morning simulation of missile launches is part of maintaining aviation readiness as well as a means of psychological pressure on Ukrainians.

Attacks on Ukraine

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russian terrorist attacks on Ukrainian settlements have become a constant threat. The enemy actively uses various types of weapons, from missiles and guided aerial bombs (GABs) to kamikaze drones, targeting infrastructure and civilian facilities.

In recent months, there has been a significant increase in nighttime drone attacks, presenting new challenges. This type of attack greatly raises risks for citizens and complicates the work of air defense forces.

Aviation systems specialist Kostiantyn Kryvolap shared his assessment of whether Russia could exhaust Ukrainian air defense forces through constant mass drone attacks.
