During the massive attack, the Russian Federation launched 12 strikes on objects of the fuel and energy sector of Ukraine. The air defense system shot down 90% of the missiles, but fog and insufficient Western air defense systems prevented full protection.

On the morning of November 28, during a large-scale enemy attack on critical infrastructure in Ukraine,  the air defense forces shot down almost 90 percent of Kalibr and X-101 missiles. however,  12 hits were recorded. Basically, we are talking about fuel and energy facilities   this was reported in the air forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reports UNN

details 

On the night of November 28, 2024, the enemy attacked critical infrastructure – electrical substations in various regions of Ukraine. Unfortunately, there is a hit! a total of 12 hits were recorded, mainly in the fuel and energy sector

- it is stated in the message of the PS of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Air Force noted that recently, during air attacks, the enemy uses a large number of missiles and drones. Their massive use in certain areas often exceeds the number of cover means. 

Russia fired 188 missiles and drones during a massive attack on Ukraine: 76 cruise missiles, three X-59/69 and 35 drones were shot down28.11.24, 10:58

In addition, the enemy uses modern means of air attack, constantly improving them. We are talking about shooting thermal and radar traps, as well as using electronic warfare equipment installed directly on the missiles. All this, as noted, significantly complicates the operation of Soviet-made anti-aircraft missile systems, which are in service with the Air Forces.

Western systems work much more efficiently in such conditions, which are not enough in Ukraine to reliably cover hundreds of critical infrastructure facilities. That is why, during massive enemy attacks, maximum forces  and means are used, including aviation, electronic warfare, air defense systems and mobile Fire groups

- explained in the Air Force. 

Also, the armed forces of Ukraine noted that on the eve of the attacks, the enemy takes into account meteorological conditions that significantly affect the work of mobile Fire groups and fighter aircraft. 

"The dense fog and cloud cover that was observed in many regions at the time of the attack did not allow the pilots and crews of the MVG to effectively perform tasks," the Air Force added.
