Details
According to Ignat, this attack was atypical, due to the fact that it lasted in several waves and began on the evening of May 6. He noted that the Russians deliberately launch both strike and imitation drones at the same time in order to complicate the work of air defense and mask real strikes.
Thus, we have a total of 187 UAVs. 81 strike drones were destroyed, and 64 drones were lost locationally
The information may be clarified, plus or minus 1-2 drones may eventually change
He noted that there were hits by Shaheds on houses, and there are also victims.
In addition, five ballistic missiles were also used today, Iskander-M or SHKM-23, there are already specialists who will study the links, they will say later what type these missiles were
According to him, two of the five missiles were shot down by air defense forces, but this is not enough, as Ukraine still lacks the means to effectively intercept ballistics.
Let us remind you
Earlier, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reacted to the night attack by the Russian Federation on Ukraine on the night of May 7, stating that the Russians launched 4 ballistic missiles and 142 drones overnight, and emphasizing that Russia must be held accountable for what it is doing.
