They can hardly damage some seriously fortified military facility with a large number of drones. And when they also attack cities, it is obviously an attack on the civilian population. There are no other reasons for such a large number of drones. They also somehow explain the missiles by saying that there was a gathering of some military personnel there, some meeting was very important. Well, such stories. Maybe someone else in some European countries, maybe someone in the United States could perceive this as a real military operation. Although attacks on civilian cities cannot be justified,&#8221; Hetman noted.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/youtu.be\/qjs9atk0c9o?t=47<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/ai-against-uavs-development-of-a-new-air-defense-system-has-started-in-ukraine\/\">AI against UAVs: development of a new air defense system has started in Ukraine<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> According to him, the Russians are using new tactics during attacks on civilians, involving simulated drones.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;When there are several hundred drones, what is it? This is obviously an attack on the civilian population. What are the tactics? We see more drones per target, per location, including imitation drones, false targets. In this way, they simply overload the air defense, because we have a comprehensive air defense. It&#8217;s not just interceptor drones, or anti-aircraft missile systems, or mobile means, or aircraft, or electronic warfare &#8211; it all works as a single mechanism. We try to do that. And together we manage to destroy a large number of air targets. Unfortunately, we cannot destroy all the air targets that are attacked, just like any other air defense system,&#8221; the military analyst explains.<\/p>\n<p> In addition, he commented on information from the German Ministry of Defense about Russian plans to launch up to 2,000 drones into Ukraine in one attack.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to offend our partners, to offend this general, but let&#8217;s say that it was his assumption. Does he have any intelligence and where did it come from? Well, let him tell us. That is, if he has intelligence, it is not made public. That is, a person simply says, assumes that there could be 2,000, can we assume that there could be 3,000? So where does such information come from? Why 2,000? Especially when Bild writes it&#8230; There is no great respect for some publications, let&#8217;s say, this publication,&#8221; Oleksiy Getman noted.<\/p>\n<p> Recall, on the night of July 21, the Russians attacked Ukraine <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/rosiia-atakuvala-ukrainu-426-udarnymy-bpla-ta-24-raketamy-iak-vidpratsiuvala-ppo\/\">with 426 strike UAVs and 24 missiles<\/a> . 224 air targets were shot down, 203 were lost in location. At the same time, the Russian troops launched <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/kombinovanyy-udar-rosiian-po-kyievu-vidomo-pro-zahybloho-ta-poranenykh\/\">a massive strike with drones and missiles on Kyiv<\/a> . As a result of the shelling of the capital, fires broke out in several areas.
