During the massive attack on Ukraine on the night of September 7, Russia used more than 400 "Shaheds" and almost as many decoy drones, with a total of over 150 targets shot down by Ukrainian interceptor drones. This was announced by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his evening address, as reported by UNN.
Last night alone, there were more than 400 "Shaheds", the total number of drones in that attack was 810. That is, almost half of them are drones that Russians use to complicate the air situation and overload air defense. There were also missiles, including ballistic ones, a significant part of which our soldiers managed to shoot down, and this is a significant result. There are results for interceptor drones: more than one hundred and fifty interceptions this night. REB units, army aviation, mobile fire groups, Air Force fighters, anti-aircraft gunners also performed well - thank you all
The President of Ukraine also summarized that during the day, Russians shelled Kyiv, Sumy, Kremenchuk, Odesa, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, and Zaporizhzhia.
