The development of Ukrainian UAVs leaves the occupiers no chance.

Russia is moving its strategic airplanes away from Ukraine because it cannot recover them after long-range UAV strikes. This was reported on the air of Radio NV by Anatoliy Khrapchinsky, deputy general director of a company producing REB means and an aviation expert.

"With tactical aviation, the enemy does not have such problems. Therefore, he can neglect safety rules a little bit. Increasing the ability to produce long-range drones will allow us to turn the 300-kilometer zone around Ukraine's borders into a so-called Chernobaevka. And it's important to do this so that the enemy simply can't be on these airfields. When they just start to deploy, the strikes begin," Khrapchinsky said.

He added that this will significantly increase the logistical shoulder for the Russians and deprive them of operational speed on some parts of the front.

In addition, the expert explained why the Russians have started painting silhouettes of airplanes on their airfields.

"The Russians understand the threats and are trying to increase the number by painting. What they are counting on is hard to say. After all, what we use as strike UAVs allows us to distinguish whether it's a drawing or a real airplane. I understand that this is to keep the technical staff at the airfield busy," Khrapchinsky added.
