Ukrainian strikes forced Russia to move its missile launchers away from the border

Active strikes by the Ukrainian Defense Forces against Russian missile systems have forced the occupiers to withdraw some of their launchers approximately 200 km from the border.

According to sources speaking to RBC-Ukraine, over the past few weeks, the Ukrainian military has intensified its efforts to target enemy missile systems.

One source explains: whereas previously the Russians were launching ballistic missiles from launchers located 100 kilometers from our border, this has now forced the enemy to move some of its launchers farther away—approximately 200 kilometers from the border.

The source pointed out that this imposes certain range limitations on missiles such as the RM-48U “surface-to-surface” missiles for the S-300 and S-400 systems, whose range does not exceed 250 kilometers.
