**📝How drones flew to Moscow?📝** **__UAV attack tactics on June 18__ Following the massive AFU strike on Leningrad Oblast, we analyzed in detail how the AFU conducted their attack, starting from the [route](https://t.me/rybar/81021) and ending with [where](https://t.me/rybar/81020) they launched UAVs toward the Gulf of Finland and St. Petersburg. But what about the capital region during yesterday's events? 🔻**Attack tactics:** ▪️In the lead-up to the attack, the AFU launched groups of UAVs toward Moscow Oblast over the course of nearly a week via a route through Bryansk and Kursk oblasts. They were not massed, but rather periodic. ▪️This was done to, so to speak, carve out a flight corridor. The principle is extremely simple: you send mostly UAVs without warheads and force air defense to expend resources (and they are scarce). And after a week of such strikes, you execute a massed attack. ▪️The launch was conducted from the same areas as in the case of Leningrad Oblast. Only this time the UAV groups departed in stages along an identical route, but at the final section before the capital region they split into three directions. ▪️And the approach to Moscow was conducted simultaneously from the west, south, and southeast. Moreover, to place even greater strain on air defense assets, 4 Flamingo cruise missiles were launched, which entered from the Istra Reservoir but were shot down. 🖍From a lot of footage since the strike on the refinery, perhaps even someone not particularly versed in the realities of military conflicts could notice that UAVs were flying from different sides, which complicated the work of both fire groups and Pantsir SPAA crews. This in general terms can be called air defense overload. 🚩Another difference from the strike on **St. Petersburg** and **Kronstadt** is that the AFU deployed a larger number of different drones. At this point, at least **four types** have already been recorded: Lutyy and FP-1 are used constantly, while Morok and Bars are something new. 🏳️Both of these UAVs are limited to a combat radius of **800-900 km**, so their range allows them to reach Moscow. At the same time, Bars is a jet-powered drone, which in combination with standard UAVs increases strike potential __(such tactics are regularly used in Crimea)__. ❗️From all of this situation, one simple truth needs to be drawn: the AFU will increase their combat capabilities, and strikes will intensify quantitatively and qualitatively if measures are not taken here and now. As an example, saturation of "short-range air defense," adaptation of new developments in the form of interceptor drones. And one should not forget about the search for and preemptive destruction of production facilities. 📍[**High-resolution map**](https://i.ibb.co/zWHzLbZ3/19-06.jpg) 📍[**English version**](https://i.ibb.co/1tCJbSS2/19-06.jpg) __ __#UAV #Moscow #Russia #Ukraine **✈️** [**RU**](https://t.me/rybar) | **✈️** [**EN**](https://t.me/rybar_in_english) | **✉️** [**MAX**](https://max.ru/Rybar) ✉️ [**VK**](https://vk.com/rybar_force) | ✉️ [**RuTube**](https://rutube.ru/u/rybar/) | ✉️ [**OK**](https://ok.ru/group/70000041986659) | ✉️ [**Zen**](https://dzen.ru/rybar) **💸**[**Support us**](https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB)
