 Russia's unsuccessfully attempt to breach Ukrainian air defense systems. Russian forces continue to experiment and adapt their missile and drone strike packages in Ukraine, attempting to penetrate Ukrainian air defense systems. However, the armed forces of Ukraine have successfully adapted to Russian tactics and sanctions are impacting the quality of missiles, hindering the aggressor's ability to launch successful attacks on our country, according to the Institute for the Study of War, ISW. The report refers to a Russian blogger who notes that Russian forces have recently launched attacks on Ukraine using various types of missiles, including hypersonic ballistic missiles like the KH-47 Kinzhal. The blogger also claims that Russian forces have deployed unidentified aerial decoys and shahead drones to bypass Ukrainian defense systems, enabling successful missile strikes. Meanwhile, ISW experts have observed Russian forces experimenting with different combinations of drone and missile strikes, attempting to penetrate Ukrainian air defense systems, as Ukrainian forces have adapted to Russian attack patterns. The Institute also does not rule out the possibility that Russia is increasing efforts to acquire ballistic missiles from abroad as, under certain circumstances, this type of missile could be more successful in targeting objectives in Ukraine. Ukrainian Air Force spokesperson Colonel Yuri Inat stated that sanctions are likely reducing the quality of Russian missiles. The reported decrease in quality of Russian missiles may further hinder Russia's ability to conduct successful strike series against Ukraine, the ISW report says.
