During a large-scale night attack on March 9, a Russian missile hit residential buildings in the Zolochiv district of the Lviv region. There are dead. This is not the first time Russia has targeted the area.
Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in reserve, instructor pilot, military expert Roman Svitan, on the air of Channel 24, allowed the enemy to target in the Lviv region. He believes that the Russians want to interrupt the supply chains, thereby stopping the supply of weapons.

Swithan stressed that the enemy wants to destroy the logistics chains and power substations that feed the railway.
This area is just one of the logistics chains through which weapons are supplied. They are trying to knock out the energy to stop the movement. That's why it flies, – said the military expert.

What is wrong with Russian missiles
According to Svitan, the probable deviations of most missiles do not exceed 10 meters. However, this is provided that you work with them correctly.
“All missile parts are disposable, no one makes them for a long period of use. This is the problem why the missile does not reach the point of impact,” the military expert explained.
During the flight, as Swithan noted, any of the thousands of parts that make up the rocket can break. This is what can lead to an error and a fall.
However, Roman Svitan emphasized that the March 9 night attack was genocidal and political. Russia is well aware that the Ukrainian air defense forces are not weak, and therefore it is not so easy to achieve the goal. Despite this, he still makes large-scale attacks to “scare”.
