British intelligence reveals a new tactic of mass strikes by the Russian Federation against Ukraine.


British military intelligence has revealed details of a large-scale missile attack carried out by Russia against Ukraine on the night of December 12 to 13. This information is reported by the UK Ministry of Defence on its account on the social network X.
According to British intelligence, Russia used various means during this attack, including strategic and tactical aviation, ballistic missile systems, and ships from the Black Sea fleet. In total, about 90 missiles of various types and 180 strike drones were launched from different locations.
The main goal of the attack was to hit critical infrastructure in Ukraine, but Russia also sought to overload Ukrainian air defense with strike drones.
British intelligence has revealed that Russia has changed its tactics, favoring powerful but less frequent strikes.
According to experts, Russia has enough military potential to carry out smaller, but selective attacks without warning, creating a serious threat to Ukraine's civil infrastructure.
Earlier, British intelligence published the results of the air war against Ukraine, which were not well received by Russia.
