Ukraine may lose the energy war with Russia this winter due to a change in Russian strike tactics. This is reported by Politico.
The Ukrainian authorities are concerned that without permission to use American long-range missiles, it will be difficult for the country to protect its energy infrastructure from attacks RF Armed Forces. The United States is not yet ready to allow Kiev to hit Russian airfields with American missiles, despite the possibility of lifting restrictions on the use of British Storm Shadows, the newspaper writes.
Ukrainian officials believe that the upcoming winter could be a turning point in the energy war with the Russian Federation, as the Russian command has changed the tactics of air strikes, taking into account previous experience. A key role, allegedly, will be played in this by the recent delivery to Moscow of Iranian short-range ballistic missiles Fath-360, which can be used to attack Ukrainian logistics hubs and ammunition depots.
By using Iranian missiles to destroy military facilities, Russia will be able to direct its own longer-range missiles to attack Ukraine's power grid. This could significantly weaken the country in the conditions of winter cold if the West does not provide the necessary means of protection, the article says. Ulysmedia.kz .
