Kim gives 3 possible reasons why Russia changed missile strike tactics
OLEKSANDR SHUMILIN — TUESDAY, 11 OCTOBER 2022, 12:39
Vitalii Kim, the Head of Mykolaiv Oblast State Administration, believes that Russia's current tactics of using missile strikes may be aimed at identifying weak spots in the Ukrainian air defence system.

Quote: "Now a very large percentage of missiles are being shot down by Ukraine’s Armed Forces. But there are several possible explanations [for the Russian tactics - ed.].
The first is that the Russians seek to keep (Ukrainian citizens - ed.) in their basements and shelters. They launch several rockets in batches so that the air raid is long. So that we are morally exhausted.
The second possibility is that they are testing our anti-aircraft defence. Where are our weak spots that can be hit massively. We understand that, too.
And the third reason may be that they are just illogical idiots, which is also a very likely scenario".
Background: On the morning of 11 October, a long-lasting air raid is continuing across Ukraine. Several Heads of Oblast State Administrations have already reported explosions.
