Although after the attacks of Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles on the Russian military airfield in. Engels of the Saratov Region Russian Aerospace Forces dispersed strategic missile-carrying aircraft, the Russian Federation retains the ability to strike Ukrainian targets from the air. This was announced by British intelligence, reports the Ukrainian edition of "Strana".
According to British intelligence, Russian long-range aviation is quite capable of launching air-launched cruise missiles in Ukraine now. This allows both the flight range of the bombers themselves, and missile range, component 5000 kilometers.
However, British intelligence officers tried to "comfort" the Ukrainian leadership, that the dispersal of missile carriers will add additional burden to the Russian Aerospace Forces. Firstly, this burden will affect aircraft maintenance. In the UK they consider, which will reduce the already limited number of flight hours on aircraft of this type.
However, statements, that Russia is “running out of missiles”, then the planes were "transferred to the Far East", Western analysts and Ukrainian military leaders regularly. But Russia has missiles, if you recall the poster published earlier by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, will never end.
This is confirmed by regular massive strikes on Ukrainian energy and military infrastructure.. While British intelligence is talking about, how the number of flight hours for Russian aircraft will be reduced, the situation in the energy sector of Ukraine has become catastrophic.
Regarding drone attacks on airfields, then, for all the unpleasantness of these actions, they are not and will not be a significant obstacle to the Russian armed forces. Furthermore, any such provocations will only cause tougher and intensified strikes against Ukrainian military and infrastructure facilities.
