Quote from Humeniuk: "The fact that they are trying to use different tactics is because they are testing and exhausting our air defence system, trying to... find a way around it.
They are also expanding their tactics as they do not have a sustainable stock of assets to act with. They use what they have left.
The high-precision weapons are being somewhat saved while the rest are still in use, so they are testing and determining where the air defence systems are."
Background: Yurii Ihnat, spokesman for Ukraine's Air Force, has spoken about Russian forces’ night attack on 7 May when they used long-range strategic aircraft to launch six Kh-22 cruise missiles over Ukraine.
