The leadership of the Russian Aerospace Forces is likely under strong pressure to improve air defenses over western Russia, as the range of threats penetrating into Russia has increased in recent months. The pressure will especially concern the chief of staff of the PKS, Colonel-General Viktor Afzalov. Commander-in-Chief of the PKS Sergei Surovikin is still missing, he is suspected of involvement in the Wagner rebellion in June, the British Ministry of Defense reports, citing intelligence data.
The intelligence added that strikes deep inside Russia are strategically important because the president almost certainly broke into Ukraine, suggesting that this would have little direct effect on the Russians.
