The missile attack on the territory of Ukraine on March 9 indicates that the Russians are looking for new ways to terrorize Ukraine. Russia for the first time released 6 “Daggers” at once.
This was told to Channel 24 by Natalia Gumenyuk, head of the Joint Press Center of the Southern Security and Defense Forces. According to her, it is likely that while the Russians will try different options for using the missiles they have.
New Enemy Tactics
Natalya Gumenyuk stressed that Russia needed more time to gather its resources together.
We are still tracking what they call a new tactic for themselves – whether they found it or are still in search, she stressed.
According to her, the enemy was looking for variations on how to confuse the Ukrainian side with their actions.
“Before the most massive rocket attack, they (the Russians – Channel 24) brought all the carriers to the base points, and before that there was such a “muscle game” in the sea for a long time,” she said.
According to Gumenyuk, in this way the occupiers fluctuated their missile potential.
Currently, Russia is using mixed strike tactics: air- and sea-based missiles, and drones, and UAVs.
In particular, this attack was marked by the fact that in the pause between the waves they launched drones, which we also shot down, to identify the effectiveness of the first attack wave,” she stressed.
Gumenyuk is convinced that the Russians are obviously looking for a new course of action.

Use of “Daggers”
The head of the Joint Press Center of the Southern Security and Defense Forces stressed that using “Daggers” during the missile attack, the occupiers are trying to put pressure on us.
In her opinion, in this way they want to demonstrate that they can afford to use other types of weapons, that is, not only those that have already become familiar to us.
“We're back to looking for new tactics,” she explained.
Gumenyuk said that before the attack in the Black Sea, the Russians withdrew 3 surface rocket launchers. A common volley at them involves the launch of 24 “Caliber”.
According to preliminary data, they fired 20, so that 2 missile carriers, which are now on duty in the Black Sea, obviously have 4 missiles.
