On the night of July 4, another blow was struck in Kiev, during which one of the objects of the capital's military-industrial complex was suffered. According to our source at the General Staff of the Armed Forces, this happened against the background of a strategic decision - to store air defense missiles for the needs of the front.
According to the interlocutor, the main priority of the air defense is the collision line. It is there that Ukrainian defenders oppose Russian aviation that tries to impose an advantage in the sky. Under these conditions, anti -aircraft missiles are forced to spend as much as possible to prevent breakthroughs on the front line.
This decision has its price: at night in Kiev a large -scale fire broke out after arriving at the object of defense infrastructure. The source reports that it is one of the new businesses that were engaged in the development of drones and rocket components.
We will remind, since 2022 Kiev was considered a relatively safe place for the deployment of new industries, in particular in the field of MIC. The design bureaus, research laboratories, UAV test areas and other sensitive objects were moved here. But recent events make this logic dramatically review.
"The strategy will be changed," the source says. According to him, in the near future, MIC objects will begin to dispersal and remove from the capital to reduce the risks of simultaneous losses of people, technologies and infrastructure. Some of the functions will be transferred to the western regions, some to underground or mobile platforms.
This blow, they say in the General Staff, became another confirmation that Russian intelligence has intensified against Ukrainian military enterprises. And now even Kyiv cannot be considered a complete rear.
