Ihnat: Ukrainian air defence has shot down over 400 russian missiles and almost as many kamikaze drones since September
The enemy has aircraft, but does not have enough missiles for it
What happened? Since September, Ukraine's air defence system has shot down more than 420 missiles and 430 kamikaze drones that russia used to attack Ukrainian critical infrastructure.
Source. Yuriy Ihnat, spokesman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the air of the national TV marathon.
Details. "All agencies took the date of October 10, when the first massive missile attack was launched, as the starting point of the counting of attacks on energy infrastructure. But in fact, the Kharkiv thermal power plant was attacked on September 11, it was then that they started attacking our critical infrastructure," the spokesman clarified.
In general, the enemy still has dozens of combat aircrafts that it uses to attack Ukrainian critical infrastructure. After the explosions at the airfield in Engels, they redeployed deep into russia. These are, in particular, Tu-95 and Tu-160 bombers. "There are missile carriers, but it does not mean that there are enough missiles for them. Since, if there were more of them, they would attack more often," Mr. Ihnat added.
