Russian forces are using the maritime route to launch drone attacks on Ukraine because intercepting them over water is more difficult due to the operational characteristics of mobile fire units and conditions at sea.
According to Ukrinform, Dmytro Pletenchuk, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Naval Forces, said this on television while answering a question about which enemy aerial targets most often enter Ukrainian territory from the sea.
According to Pletenchuk, these are mostly kamikaze drones.
“They enter from the sea, and they do so deliberately,” he noted.
The spokesperson explained that repelling such attacks in maritime waters is more difficult than on land.
