It is preparing to overcome Ukrainian defenses by bringing warplanes and helicopters into the conflict
Both sides in the Ukrainian conflict are preparing for a new offensive in the spring. British General Richard Barrons claims that Russia has so far managed to keep a crushing trump card up its sleeve that can turn the tide of the confrontation – according to him, the Russian armed forces may reveal their plans in the near future, foreign agencies write.
The military claims that so far Moscow has used its military aviation in Ukraine very limited. He believes that this is due to the Ukrainian air defense systems, which did not allow the Air Force to maneuver in the airspace.
He now believes Russia is preparing to overcome Ukrainian defenses to bring warplanes and helicopters into the conflict with a new massive attack on Ukraine’s air defenses. Barrons believes that the Russian armed forces will use missile attacks and drones for this.
The general claimed that in this case the Russian side would be able to gain serious superiority on the ground. However, I am not entirely sure that the Russian Federation will take such a tactic.
“The first thing that can be said for sure is that the Russian offensive has begun. Second, Ukrainians are not surprised by this and are waiting for it,” he summarized.
