Air defense forces have shot down 102 of 124 Russian drones since this evening
Ukrainian air defenses repelled another massive attack by Russian drones overnight, shooting down most of them while they were still in the air. Despite this, some of the drones still reached their targets and struck several locations. Air defense forces continue to operate in an enhanced mode. The Ukrainian Air Force reported this on Telegram.
Starting in the evening of May 22, Russian forces launched another attack on Ukraine using strike drones, but air defense forces managed to intercept a significant portion of the aerial targets. This was reported by the Ukrainian Air Force on Telegram.
According to official data, air defense forces neutralized 102 out of 124 enemy drones that were heading toward Ukrainian cities and infrastructure facilities. “Air defense neutralized 102 drones used by the Russian army to attack Ukraine starting the evening of May 22,” the Air Force stated in its message.
However, the attack could not be completely repelled: 12 strike UAVs were recorded as hitting 9 different locations. Ukrainian military officials emphasize that despite the enemy’s constant, massive attacks, the air defense system continues to operate effectively, destroying most aerial targets before they reach their targets.
Defense forces are not disclosing details of the consequences of the strikes, but they emphasize that drone attacks remain one of the main threats to the country’s civilian infrastructure.
