The British Ministry of Defense also reported that Russia was firing en masse with its artillery and air force “in an attempt to overcome the Ukrainian defences”. According to London, the Russian Air Force has been deploying dozens of old and inaccurate anti-ship missiles against land targets since April for the lack of more modern weapons. The KH-22s date back to the 1960s, and they actually serve to destroy nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. In ground attacks, they can cause a lot of collateral damage and civilian casualties.
