During missile strikes, the russians use riverbeds to bypass anti-aircraft defenses.

Russian troops use the Dniester and Pivdennyi Bug riverbeds during missile attacks to bypass Ukrainian air defenses. On February 19, on the air of the national telethon, the spokesman of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ignat, announced this.

“This time, the enemy is hiding these missiles in the riverbeds. It uses both the Dniester and Southern Bug rivers so that the missile is “pressed” to the ground as low as possible on the way to its target, and somewhere in this way it manages to overcome those air defense means that can potentially destroy them,” Ignat said.

He also said that last week the russians started using night missile strikes. Previously, terrorists used Iranian kamikaze drones at night, and rockets in the morning, during mass attacks.

On February 18, the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces shot down two of the four Kalibr sea-based cruise missiles launched by the russians from the Black Sea. Explosions were heard in Kherson, as well as in Khmelnytskyi, where infrastructure was destroyed and two civilians were injured as a result of the impact.
