The Russians may take advantage of the bad weather to launch attacks using gasoline-powered "Shaheds"

Russian occupation forces are likely preparing a new drone attack, using “conventional” gasoline-powered “Shahed” drones to strike areas west of Kyiv. The enemy may be attempting to take advantage of unfavorable weather conditions to bypass Ukrainian air defense systems.

What are the Russians’ possible plans for a new attack?

The enemy is once again attempting to employ the tactic of using classic gasoline-powered kamikaze drones during periods of inclement weather.

Bad weather significantly complicates the visual detection of targets and the operations of mobile fire teams on the ground.

That is why the occupiers will try to route their attack drones through territories west of the capital, counting on a reduction in the effectiveness of Ukrainian defenses.

This was reported by military communications expert Serhiy “Flash” Beskrestnov on Telegram.

As a reminder, the weather forced the Russians to slow down, but the enemy is preparing for a new infiltration.

Also, in Zaporizhzhia, more than 50 facilities were damaged due to a nighttime attack by the Russian Federation.

The Russians dropped an aerial bomb on Sumy State University.
