'We Will Eliminate': Svitan Names New Targets For AFU Drones In Russia
ROMAN SVITAN

A Ukrainian colonel believes the air war will continue in winter.

Why does Russia keep hitting Kyiv with missiles despite the fact that Ukrainian air defences intercept most of them?

Charter97.org put this and other questions to Colonel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, flight instructor Roman Svitan.

- Let me start by saying that recently three strikes were launched against Kyiv. First, with cruise missiles, when Putin was talking in the information flow about running for the presidency of the Russian Federation. He needed some kind of information support in connection with the "fireworks" over the Ukrainian capital.

Plus two "ballistic" strikes were made on Kyiv when the Ukrainian delegation headed by President Volodymyr Zelensky was in Argentina, where the events went very well.

And then the delegation was in the United States, where they met with Joe Biden. There were many positive moments there as well. At that time, in order to create a negative background, the Russians attacked Kiev with ballistic missiles.

The Russians understand that all missiles over Kyiv will be destroyed due to the serious defence system. This was done precisely for the purpose of information support. There is no military purpose in it.

- Today the mass attack of Ukrainian drones on Moscow was announced. Will there be a drone war this winter?

- It's rainy on the front line during the winter period, and it's impossible to advance. In this connection, the main combat operations will take place in the air. The aviation component will be predominant: drones, aeroplanes and missiles.

Ukraine will definitely continue to hit Russian military facilities. I would like to point out that if, say, a Russian military facility hangs on the power generation network, then in this case the power generation itself will be a military facility. We will liquidate it.

I would like to point out that, unfortunately, Russia now exceeds Ukraine by a head in terms of drones at the expense of China.
