It is noted that at the beginning of August, an echelon with ammunition left Ulan-Ude: it consists of 28 wagons and carries 32 missiles for S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems. StratCom expects that it will arrive at the borders of Ukraine on the 20th of August.
“The threat of massive shelling of the territory of Ukraine, at least with S-300 missiles, is obvious. Taking into account the arrival of a number of echelons by the 20th, it is also obvious that they are concentrating until August 24 [Ukraine’s Independence Day – ed.].”
It is also reported that by mid-August, more than 120 containers with missiles to the S-300 system were seized from the complex ammunition storage arsenal in the Russian city of Kotovo.
