00:00The war in Ukraine has gone from tank battles and artillery duels to a
00:05exchange of attacks with long-range drones, capable of hitting military targets
00:11and industrial areas located far behind the front, according to an article published in The
00:16Guardian. According to the authors, both sides are developing this type of weaponry.
00:22But the balance of power remains uncertain. For example, a single crew
00:27The Unmanned Systems Regiment, RAID, can carry out up to two dozen missions
00:33per week. Large-scale attacks, such as those targeting the oil refinery.
00:39from Moscow, would require the simultaneous launch of up to 300 drones.
00:44According to expert Siddharth Kaushal of the Royal United Services Institute, the consequences
00:50These attacks affect the economies of both sides. The authors noted that,
00:55In addition to long-range drones, the Russian army's arsenal also includes
01:00ballistic and cruise missiles. Since May, Russia has actively employed the version
01:06powered by the Iranian Shahid jet engine. Furthermore, target selection
01:11She is becoming increasingly ruthless.
01:14According to Kaushal, Russia has several advantages over Ukraine. A diverse arsenal of long-range weapons
01:20range, a more advanced air defense system, and greater social flexibility,
01:27since its citizens have not been subjected to such intense pressure for so long.
01:34Russia is expected to produce 36,000 Shahid missiles by 2027, up to 10,000 Parcel missiles, and an additional quantity
01:42similar to the low-cost Dante cruise missile. All of them could be used this winter to
01:49attack Ukraine's electricity, heating, and water supply systems. Ukraine also
01:56He continues his campaign of attacks, the consequences of which are widely reported. However,
02:02The overall picture of the effects is more difficult to grasp. Ukrainian military commanders indicated
02:08The authors suggest that Russia has likely improved its ability to jam radio signals,
02:14This reduces the accuracy of attacks using cheap kamikaze drones. However,
02:19Despite the escalation of warfare as technology advances, neither side
02:25Russia is close to defeat or crisis. Real tests await Russia if it tries
02:31to mobilize up to 300,000 people after the parliamentary elections, as well as to Ukraine,
02:37that it will try again to refinance its finances and, above all, survive the winter, they conclude
02:44the authors. It should be remembered that, according to some reports, the Russian military would be
02:51identifying potential targets in Kyiv for future attacks. These could include
02:57electrical substations and railway infrastructure, as well as large shopping centers,
03:02In particular, Auchan and similar hypermarkets. Furthermore, the Russian population could also be affected.
03:10This winter, the consequences of Ukrainian attacks on infrastructure, if Ukraine
03:15It decides to respond symmetrically to the Russian attacks. Experts point out that the vast territory
03:22Russia's limited air defense capabilities generate a significant number of potential threats
03:28objectives for Ukraine. However, according to expert Ivan Kirichevsky, the information on
03:35The impact on many of the targets in Russia is far from public knowledge. He stated that it is known
03:40approximately 5% of the magnitude of this work.
