Bad weather helps Shaheds penetrate deeper into Ukraine: Beskrestnov explained Russia's tactics
Russian forces have stepped up use of Shaheds to strike Ukraine’s western regions, taking advantage of deteriorating weather conditions. Because of the bad weather, Ukrainian interceptors find it harder to detect and destroy the drones.
This was stated by presidential advisor Serhii Beskrestnov.
According to him, unfavorable weather gives ordinary, non-jet Russian UAVs more opportunities to get into the depth of the Ukrainian rear.
“For the Russians it’s a chance to attack our western rear areas, where jet Shaheds don’t reach. Because, in their view, our guys on the interceptors will see the Shaheds poorly and attack less effectively. That’s really the case,” Beskrestnov said.
At the same time, the presidential advisor added that such logic “works both ways.” In this way, he indirectly confirmed that the Russian side also uses interceptor drones.
