Russia's latest missile strikes in Ukraine targeted air bases, airstrips and a training center for pilots who launch Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles. This is reported by the Financial Times, citing its sources.
During the current week, Moscow has fired dozens of missiles into the western regions of Ukraine, targeting these facilities located up to 1000 km from the front line. Ukrainian officials have confirmed that 28 cruise missiles were launched on Tuesday alone, with 16 of them successfully intercepted.
Given this threat, Ukraine's armed forces are actively moving important weapons and experienced personnel from one location to another.
"To avoid strikes, Ukraine is now hastily transferring critical weapons and qualified personnel from one place to another," the publication emphasizes.
According to the publication, Ukrainian pilots are constantly moving between different air bases and commercial airports to minimize the risks of missile strikes.
