As noted, as a result of the anti-aircraft battle, one Kh-59 guided air missile and 15 attack UAVs of the "Shahed" type were shot down.
According to the Air Force, in addition, two enemy drones were lost in location (probably fell under the influence of EW devices). Also, three Kh-59 missiles did not reach the desired targets due to the active countermeasures of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
