On the night of June 7, the Russian armed forces launched a massive attack on military facilities in Kharkov, using a new tactic aimed at overcoming the air defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The New York Times writes about this.
According to the information published in the publication, this attack was the largest in the entire time of the special operation, which has been going on for three years.
According to the newspaper, the attacks were aimed at bypassing the Ukrainian air defense system in the area. According to sources, this may be part of a new tactic of the Russian armed forces.
Experts believe that such powerful attacks make it possible to overcome the air defense system and ensure the successful advance of troops.
The publication reports that as a result of the attack, Russian forces advanced in Sumy region and occupied two settlements located 150 kilometers north of Kharkov. This was done to create a buffer zone.
Earlier, the head of the Kharkiv administration, Igor Terekhov, described the actions of the Russian armed forces as "the most intensive" since the start of the special military operation.
