Russia is preparing to sharply escalate its ballistic missile strikes on Ukraine — Madyar
Russia could nearly triple the number of ballistic missiles it is capable of launching in a single attack on Ukraine. This was stated on August 10 by Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces.
As “Madyar” explained, as of today, Russian invaders are capable of simultaneously launching a salvo of 77 ballistic missiles.
However, the enemy’s plans call for increasing this number to 200.
The commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces makes no secret of the fact that this is one of Ukraine’s most vulnerable points, as the country faces a shortage of interceptors for the American Patriot systems—the only complex in Ukraine’s arsenal capable of shooting down ballistic missiles.
This means that dozens of missiles launched by Russia during massive attacks reach their targets.
“Even if they manage to launch only half that number, all of them will be aimed at us,” “Madyar” warned.
He also explained that there is only one way to reduce the number of such missiles—to strike every facility involved in their production. This underscores the importance of Ukraine’s long-range strikes deep into Russian territory.

As a reminder, a Russian attack on the Poltava region damaged a gas station and a factory.
In Dnipro on Friday, August 7, a World Health Organization humanitarian warehouse was destroyed in an attack. No one was on the premises at the time of the strike, and no casualties were reported.
Over the past 24 hours, the occupiers lost 1,130 soldiers and more than 400 pieces of military equipment.
In the Kherson region, one person was killed and two were wounded as a result of Russian shelling.
