Russian occupation forces are planning another massive missile attack on Ukraine, which may be no less large-scale than the strikes on August 26-27. Military expert Oleksiy Getman stated this on Hromadske Radio.
Hetman stressed that recent attacks using Iranian Shahed kamikaze drones and smaller batches of missiles are part of preparations for a massive strike. This is Russia's attempt to test the effectiveness of Ukrainian air defenses and exhaust their resources.
“They are preparing a new massive missile strike, which may happen soon. Therefore, citizens should not ignore air alerts, as the threat is real,” the expert warned.
According to Ukrainian intelligence (GUR MO), Russia has accumulated up to one and a half hundred missiles of various types, and this may mean that the attack will be similar to the August raids. Hetman emphasized:
“We will see hundreds of Russian missiles in the sky.”
Despite the threat, he urged not to panic and to trust the Ukrainian air defense forces, in particular the F-16 systems and other means of defense that are preparing to repel this attack.
The date of the possible attack is still unknown, but Hetman suggests that it could happen by October 12, since that is when another meeting in the "Ramstein" format will take place, where military support for Ukraine will be discussed.
Be vigilant, but don't panic , the expert advises, adding that the success of the attack will depend not only on the number of missiles fired, but also on the readiness of the Ukrainian defense forces.
