☆ Russia has shifted beyond its 'stupid' missile attack strategy, and it is bad news for Ukraine

AdvertisementRussia has changed its longstanding missile strategy to one that could have worse effects for Ukraine's effort on the battlefield, experts say. During its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has used its guided missiles to knock out the heating and electrical systems Ukrainians need to get through the winter. A local resident takes a photo of a missile crater and debris of a private house ruined in the Russian missile attack in Kyiv, Ukraine, in December 2023.

But Russia is increasing its missile production, and Ukraine says it desperately needs more air defense systems, as Russia tries to wear them down.

☆ Russia increased its stock of long-range missiles faster than expected, report says. It could spell a hard winter for Ukraine.

AdvertisementAdvertisementRussia increased its stock of long-range missiles despite Western sanctions designed to bite into its ability to produce them, a think tank said. AdvertisementAdvertisementBut the boost in Russian long-range missile stocks — with 115 being produced in October alone — indicates "that Russia has increased its domestic production of missiles faster than had been forecasted," said the ISW. The Russian military appears to be stockpiling missiles in preparation for a new wave of attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in winter, British intelligence said in October. In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Western countries have imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia aimed, in part, at cutting off supplies of Western-produced components of sophisticated weapons such as long-range missiles. Russia has used long-range missiles to hit both civilian and military targets as part of a strategy analysts say is aimed at terrorizing Ukraine and breaking its will to fight.

☆ Russia seeking to disrupt Ukraine's preparations for counterattack, Kyiv says
  + stars: | 2023-05-19 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
KYIV, May 19 (Reuters) - Russia has shifted the focus of its missile strikes on Ukraine to try to disrupt preparations for a Ukrainian counterattack, a senior Ukrainian military intelligence official said. After months of attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, Russian forces are now increasingly targeting military facilities and supplies, said Vadym Skibitskyi, Deputy Head of the Defence Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate. He also said Russian aviation was now targeting areas on or near the front line more often than before. Russia, whose air strikes have also often hit residential areas across Ukraine, did not immediately comment on Skibitskyi's remarks. Soldiers near the front line said this week that Russian forces were pounding supply lines to try to halt the Ukrainian advances.
☆ Russia's defense manufacturing sector is using convict labor to meet war-time demands: UK intel
  + stars: | 2023-01-13 | by ( Mia Jankowicz | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Russia announced it's using the forced labor of convicts to manufacture weaponry. The UK MOD said that manufacturers are likely under intense pressure to keep the army supplied. Russia, which reintroduced forced prison labor in 2017, has a prison population of around 400,000, as well as a system accused of perpetuating "extreme brutality and corruption," the UK MOD said. It is likely under "intense pressure" to produce more, the UK MOD said. The UK MOD report follows several signals that Russia, like Ukraine, is grappling with difficulties in keeping its front line supplied with a wide range of munitions.
