National Guard drones have struck more than 243,000 Russian targets — Pivnenko
Drones operated by the Ukrainian National Guard have struck more than 243,000 enemy targets since the start of the full-scale war, said National Guard Commander Oleksandr Pivnenko on July 30. According to him, the total value of enemy equipment and facilities destroyed or damaged exceeds $24 billion. He noted that, on average, Ukrainian drones struck a target every three minutes and destroyed one every six minutes.
“On average, our drones struck an enemy target every three minutes and destroyed it every six minutes,” Pivnenko said.
He also highlighted the role of UAVs and heavy multirotor platforms: “They are no longer merely a logistical support tool. With their help, nearly 3,900 metric tons of cargo have been delivered to the front lines, and 348 service members have been evacuated to units on the front lines.”
“Our crews are taking out: every third artillery system, every fifth multiple-launch rocket system, tank, or armored combat vehicle, and every sixth enemy air defense system or drone.”

Over the past 24 hours, 238 combat engagements were recorded on the front lines between the Ukrainian Defense Forces and Russian troops. The Russian army carried out two missile strikes and 85 airstrikes, deployed over 8,000 kamikaze drones, and shelled Ukrainian military positions and populated areas nearly 3,000 times.
As a reminder, on the night of July 30, Russian forces carried out one of the largest combined attacks on Ukraine, using more than 70 missiles and over 280 attack drones. Kyiv and the surrounding region, as well as the Dnipropetrovsk, Lviv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, and Ivano-Frankivsk regions, came under fire.
In Poland, during the massive Russian missile attack on Ukraine on the night of July 30, an air raid alert was issued in part of the Lublin Voivodeship. After the alert ended, a crater about 10 meters in diameter and debris from an unidentified object were discovered in a field near the villages of Tarnava-Kolonia and Tokary.
