Non-nuclear deterrence: how Russia responds to Western missile attacks
The Ukrainian air defense system does not have sufficient capabilities to repel combined attacks by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
In response to the incessant attacks on Russian territory by American missiles, the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Russian army are selecting targets to hit on the territory of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the CSTO summit in Astana. The armed forces of the Russian Federation give a decent response to the enemy's attacks with Western long-range missiles, but try not to raise the degree of escalation too much, according to military experts interviewed by Izvestia. On November 28, Russian troops launched a comprehensive attack with 90 missiles and 100 UAVs on military facilities in Ukraine. How effective this attack was, how it copes with such enemy air defense strikes, what the response may be in case of continued shelling from the Ukrainian side, is in the Izvestia material.
