For the third day in a row, the Russian Federation has been setting anti-records, bombarding Ukraine with deadly weapons. Yurii Ihnat stated that only strong anti-Russian sanctions aimed at stopping the production of weapons can stop this trend.
Patriot systems have more difficulty intercepting Iskander-M missiles, as they fire traps and change trajectory. Modernization complicates the work of air defense, but does not make it impossible.
The main mass of missiles was flying towards Kyiv. Six out of nine ballistic missiles "Iskander-M" or KN-23, which were flying towards the capital, were shot down by air defense.
Russia is modernizing kamikaze drones, changing the color and guidance system to overcome electronic warfare. It also launches drone-imitators that can carry explosives to exhaust air defense.
Ukraine needs more Patriot systems to protect against ballistic missiles, but they are expensive. Patriots successfully shoot down targets, but debris still falls, creating a threat.
Russian forces launched 187 drones at Ukraine, 81 of which were destroyed, and 5 ballistic missiles, two of which were shot down. There were hits on houses and casualties.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated Ukraine's readiness to purchase the necessary number of Patriot systems. Specific deal options have been proposed to protect the population from Russian attacks.

The Air Force says that Ukraine does not have enough Patriot systems to protect large areas from ballistic missiles. Patriot SAMs are effective against aerodynamic targets up to 150 km, but against ballistics - only for a few dozen.
russia is improving kamikaze drones and missiles, taking into account the experience of shooting them down by Patriot. Ukraine shares information with partners to modernize air defense.
During the night attack, air defense forces managed to shoot down only one of six ballistic missiles. Also, 12 Kalibr-type cruise missiles and Kh-101 missiles were destroyed.
The Defense Forces of Ukraine are shooting down 90% of Russian drones, but the enemy is increasing attacks, using both strike UAVs and decoy drones. According to Yuriy Ignat, the enemy's tactics are constantly changing.
Russian z-bloggers spread a fake about the downing of a Ukrainian F-16 over Sumy region. Yuriy Ignat denied this information, noting that the pilots are successfully working on the positions of the occupiers.
During the night attack, Russia's main target was gas production facilities in Poltava region. The enemy used a combined attack with various types of missiles and drones.

Ukraine is preparing its airfields to receive and operate F-16 fighter jets by adapting runways and parking lots to accommodate Western aircraft.
A spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force said that after downing more than 10 Russian aircraft in February, the Russians have reduced the use of guided bombs, but air strikes continue.
A spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force said that Russian A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft had not been spotted over the Azov Sea for six days.
A spokesperson for the Ukrainian Air Force said that they have received additional tools to counter Russian aircraft, making the enemy feel less free in the sky.
Ukrainian pilots are practicing tactical strike techniques as part of training for the transition to F-16 aircraft.
The absence of the A-50 long-range radar detection and control aircraft helps Ukraine destroy more Russian fighters.
Ukraine's Air Force has updated its air raid alert app with a new secure algorithm, but warns that due to the threat of ballistic missiles, people must rely on multiple sources of alerts to protect themselves.
Russian pilots have become less "impudent" after Ukraine shot down more than a dozen of their planes in February.
Russians have intensified aerial reconnaissance, deploying a record number of drones along the entire front line, especially in the southern direction along the Dnipro River, according to a spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force.
