Russia will not act as usual, it switches tactics – Ukraine's Air Force

The Air Force of Ukraine has explained the danger of waiting for standard actions from Russia because Russians are changing tactics; the service branch of the Armed Forces once again urges citizens not to ignore air-raid sirens.

Details: Ihnat recalled examples of Russian troops changing their approach, in particular in missile strikes, and also emphasised the need to trust official sources of information. At the same time, the spokesman once again noted that the Air Force of Ukraine was in constant combat readiness for any Russian scenarios.

Quote: "Our job is to keep calm, obey the air-raid sirens… Telegram channels notify everyone properly, there are many bots, and everyone expects standard actions (from the enemy), i.e. MiG-31K (takeoffs) – you cannot hide, but in the cases of Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia, (the Russians) just fired Kinzhal missiles; or, [say, you might have expected] there will be no rocket attack at night, so you can sleep peacefully, [thinking] it will be in the morning, as the enemy usually acts, and here they just [landed an attack] at night. Yes, with a small number of missiles, but they attacked.

Therefore, it is necessary to expect non-standard actions from the enemy, as well as a possible escalation."
