Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has fired 67,000 guided bombs, thousands of missiles of various types, and 22,400 Shahed strike UAVs at the territory of Ukraine.
This is reported by the Air Force, Censor.NET reports.
"During the three years of war, daily anti-aircraft battles, the Air Force has actually exhausted the resource of missiles for Soviet anti-aircraft missile troops, and now our soldiers primarily rely on the support of partners in the context of continuing to supply Western systems, and most importantly, missiles to them, to strengthen Ukrainian air defense.
The enemy continues to terrorize the Ukrainian people with air strikes and we need more protection for our country, for our cities and our children! We need more protection for the stability of Europe and the entire civilized world!" the statement reads.
The Air Force emphasized that Ukrainian soldiers have proven that they can quickly master the Patriot, F-16, Nasams and other technological weapons, and most importantly, effectively use them against the world's "second army."
Thus, since February 24, 2022, the Air Force, together with the Air Defense Forces of Ukraine, has shot down a Ukrainian aircraft:
-
2,496 cruise missiles
-
465 guided air-launched missiles
-
40 Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles
-
17,575 Shahed-type attack UAVs
It is also noted that the vast majority of these intercepted targets were destroyed thanks to the supply of modern surface-to-air missile systems and their accompanying missiles provided by international partners.
