Russian forces miss precision-guided missiles and bomb indiscriminately

In the latest intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine, the British Ministry of Defense said that the eastern city of Severodonetsk is still witnessing fierce street fighting, and it is likely that the Ukrainian and Russian sides will suffer a large number of casualties.

Defense Ministry reports indicated that Russian forces have not yet made progress in the south of the city. She added that Russia is using heavy artillery fire and air strikes, in an attempt to overcome the Ukrainian defenses.

The British Ministry of Defense revealed that Russia suffers from a shortage of modern, more accurate missiles, and is resorting to the use of heavy anti-ship missiles to strike land targets in Ukraine, and these missiles are primarily designed to destroy enemy aircraft carriers using a nuclear warhead.

When used in a ground attack with a conventional warhead, these missiles are highly inaccurate and can therefore cause significant collateral damage and civilian casualties.
