The Ukrainian Air Force has changed the format of its daily reports and no longer reports the exact number of missiles Russia launches during massive attacks.
The decision is based on security considerations and changes in Russian strike tactics. According to Bloomberg, the Ukrainian military is trying to avoid revealing information to the enemy that could help assess the capabilities of Ukraine’s air defense.
In particular, during one of the most recent attacks, the Air Force reported destroying 98 out of 120 Russian drones, but did not specify the number of missiles launched.
Previously, Ukraine also stopped publishing detailed statistics on the interception of ballistic missiles. This comes amid an increase in the intensity of Russian airstrikes and a shortage of interceptor missiles for Ukraine’s air defense forces.
Ukraine is appealing to its allies to increase the supply of air defense systems, as repelling Russian strikes has become increasingly difficult in recent weeks.
As a reminder, a Russian attack on the Poltava region damaged a gas station and a business.
In Dnipro on Friday, August 7, a World Health Organization humanitarian warehouse was destroyed in an attack. No one was on the premises at the time of the strike, and no casualties were reported.
Over the past 24 hours, the occupiers lost 1,130 troops and more than 400 pieces of military equipment.
