Drones with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers or more will make up for the lack of medium- and long-range missiles, the sources said.
Ukraine will soon use long-range drones that can attack Russian targets in the Urals and the Arctic. Bild reported this, citing its own sources, on Friday, April 5.
Allegedly, this year Ukraine will be able to use drones with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers or more. They will compensate for the lack of medium- and long-range missiles.
“Missiles are a thing of the past. Drones are the future,” said the source.
According to him, by the end of the year, 10 manufacturers will provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with drones with a range of up to 2,500 kilometers. And the Kiev design bureau Luch previously developed the Sokol-3000 drone, which can fly up to 3,300 kilometers.
According to journalists’ calculations, the new Ukrainian weapon can attack targets in the Murmansk region of the Russian Federation, where there are about 80 military bases. Among them is the Olenya airfield, where strategic bombers are based, which regularly launch missile attacks on Ukraine.
The publication recalls that drones recently attacked for the first time a “martyrdom” plant in Tatarstan at a distance of 1,300 kilometers.
“For one of the attacks, the Ukrainian drone UJ-22 was used. Previously, it was believed that its range was 800 kilometers. Obviously, the new modification with additional fuel tanks flew further. For in the second attack, a drone was used. , which was created based on the Ukrainian ultralight aircraft Airport A-22 Flying fox,” the publication wrote.
We remind you that this morning three Russian military airfields were attacked by drones. According to media reports, the drones could damage the Tu-95MS strategic bombers at the airport in the city of Engels.
At least six fighters were also destroyed at Morozovsk airfield. About two dozen Russian soldiers were killed and wounded.
