General Kryvonos Warns of Extended Russian Airstrike Range on Ukraine
General Sergey Kryvonos warns that Russia's improving missile technology could allow strikes deeper into Ukraine, potentially targeting Kiev if Belarus is involved.
In an interview on a YouTube channel, former Deputy Commander of the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces, General Sergey Kryvonos, stated that Russian forces could extend the range of their guided aviation bombs (GABs) to target deeper into Ukrainian territory.
Kryvonos explained that it will be increasingly difficult for Ukraine to fully defend its airspace against Russian missiles and drones, as Russian forces continue to enhance the range of their precision-guided munitions. This progress will allow Russia to strike targets farther inside Ukrainian territory.
The general also raised concerns about the potential for even greater threats if Russia strengthens its collaboration with Belarus. He warned that if Russian forces began using Belarusian territory, it could bring the risk of strikes targeting Ukraine’s capital, Kiev.
Kryvonos emphasized that Russian technology will continue to improve, and for every move made by Ukrainian forces, Russia is already developing countermeasures.
