Step of desperation: military spox about why Russians use aircraft with guided bombs

The Head of the Joint Coordinating Press Center of Security and Defence of South of Ukraine Natalia Humeniuk called the Russian army launching guided bombs with aircraft a step of desperation.

The Head of the Joint Press Center Natalia Humeniuk expressed this opinion on the United News telethon, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"We can conclude that the enemy's use of aircraft with guided bombs is a step of desperation because they have nothing else to use," the spokesperson said.

According to the military, thanks to the actions of Ukrainian defenders, the Russian army has less and less positions from where they can strike the right bank of the Dnipro. According to the Operational Command "South", 45 attacks on the Kherson region and one attack on the Dnipro-Bug estuary were recorded on the previous day. The invaders continue to claim that they allegedly control something, but in reality, they can only afford to make isolated attacks.

"That is why, having reduced their ground power, they are using aviation and UAVs, which previously they used only for reconnaissance, and now they are tying grenades and trying to hit large crowds of people," Humeniuk emphasizes.

She also pointed out that "when the occupiers are looking for a new tactic, we are always looking for countermeasures."

As reported, on the left bank of the Kherson region, Russian invaders are setting up defensive lines and dropping grenades from reconnaissance drones.
