What is Russian President Vladimir Putin doing with the large number of missiles and drones he is launching at Ukraine? Military experts have suggested that the increased number of strikes is not only due to Russia's attempts to locate Patriot missile systems, but also to experiment with the effectiveness of their attacks and to create a propaganda effect. Despite the high number of casualties, Putin appears to be determined to continue his aggression, as Russia is capable of producing up to 50 missiles a month. In order to counter these attacks, Ukraine must strengthen its air defense systems and continue to demonstrate its ability to withstand the missile strikes.
