Surprise for the anniversary of the war: Budanov announced a "small" rocket strike of the Russian Federation in Ukraine

The estimated date-February 23-24, said in an interview with "Ukrainian Truth" the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov. "Let's do so: there will be nothing unusual. Ordinary attempts . . . A small rocket strike is planned, 23-24-they have two dates. Believe me, we have survived it more than 20 times," said military intelligence chairman.

Budanov considers quite old methods of the military to use drones, various types of missiles and "balloons" during air attacks. Journalists recalled the rocket attack on January 14, when there were arrivals in several districts of Kiev. The air alarm signal worked after the rockets reached the goals. Budanov noted that it was an experimental start of a missile 48H6DM with a range of targets up to 250 km and a flight speed of up to 2. 5 km/s.

"They stood in the Bryansk region, it was one of the first recorded such experienced launches. I emphasize that these are experienced launches," GUR chairman reassured. As of today, there will be no such launches, because Russia, like many other post -Soviet countries, cannot produce in sufficient volume technological patterns of weapons, he added. "Artificial specimens - please. But the series is difficult. There is only a corpus from Russian, explosive and software. - explained Budanov.

The year of a full-scale war in Ukraine, in his opinion, completely destroyed the faith of the world community in the "power" of the Russian defense-industrial complex. "Can they produce some experienced example of something? For example, operative-tactical rocket weapons or strategic weapons of an average radius? When they mention such things, usually talk about ballistic missiles with a range of starting about 5 thousand kilometers. They can do one to two theoretically.

What's next?" - asked Budanov. In the arms race, Russia has no chance to compete with the West, because it does not satisfy the armed forces with ordinary weapons, and it is not necessary to speak of high -tech at all, he summed up. On February 19, the Verkhovna Rada also warned Ukrainians of increased missile danger from February 22 to 24.

There are 2 scenarios: massive shelling of Ukraine with rockets with the launch of shock drones and an attempt to have a new large -scale offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak announced on February 17, the possibility of accumulating the army of the Russian Federation for a three -wave strike.
