Ukraine's Air Defense destroyed 59,000 targets and repelled 25 strikes in May - Ministry of Defense

Last month, Ukraine's air defense destroyed over 59,000 aerial targets and repelled 25 enemy missile and air strikes. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Details

As noted by the ministry, Ukrainian innovations play a major role in this: interceptor drones autonomously shoot down enemy "Shaheds" thanks to technology that automates 95% of the interception process.

Private enterprises also joined in the destruction of aerial targets—air defense groups created with the permission of the Ministry of Defense destroyed more than 20 enemy UAVs.  We are working to implement Mykhailo Fedorov's Defense Plan of Ukraine: to identify 100% of aerial threats and intercept at least 95% of missiles and drones

 - the Ministry of Defense stated.

Additionally

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi stated that Ukraine has reached new solutions in the field of defense and has found additional systems and interceptors.

As a reminder

Ukrainian air defense uses a variety of systems to protect against Russian aerial targets. Air defense systems are classified by range and type, including Buk SAMs, NASAMS, Patriot, as well as mobile fire groups and aviation.
