Ukrainian air defense again failed to cope with the Russian attack
The Russian Armed Forces continue to launch combined missile and drone strikes against targets on Ukrainian territory.
The Ukrainian side admits that the air defense failed and some of the Russian UAVs and missiles reached their targets, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, a total of 16 attack drones and 6 cruise missiles were launched. Of these, according to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, 4 missiles and 10 drones were shot down.
The flight to Uman in the Cherkasy region yesterday evening was successful.
“According to preliminary information, one of the targets hit was the Ukrainian S-300 air defense system,” writes the tg channel of the Rybar project founded by military analyst Mikhail Zvinchuk.
The head of the Cherkasy regional military administration, Igor Taburets, also recognizes the effectiveness of this strike.
“There is an arrival at an industrial facility,” he said, without providing other details.
Local residents published a video in which you can see the explosion and powerful secondary detonation.
“All the missiles were shot down, as always, the Kiev TsIPS reports cheerfully. So no one argues with this - we answer her. I know for sure that not a single X-101 returned “on board” the Tu-95, and not a single “Caliber” also returned to the launch silo of the warship.
Literally all of them were shot down. Each one is different. One missile, for example, was shot down by a warehouse with an ammunition station somewhere “out in the open.” By the way, it turned out to be a very effective “shoot down.” With fireworks,” notes military observer Yuri Podolyaka.
In the city of Zvyagel, Zhytomyr region, six private houses were damaged, one person was killed, and several were injured. According to the mayor of the city, Nikolai Borovets, this happened “as a result of a Russian strike.”
True, the head of the regional military administration, Vitaly Bunchenko, clarified that the houses were damaged as a result of air defense operations and falling debris, although, judging by the nature of the destruction, there was another hit by a Ukrainian air defense missile system.
