Over 400 UAVs in Ukrainian skies. Russia has deployed strategic aviation, – Air Force (updated)
More than 400 drones have been detected in Ukrainian airspace, along with sightings of Tu-95 and Tu-160MS aircraft. The threat of missile strikes remains.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported during a live broadcast by Colonel Yurii Ihnat, head of the communications department of the Air Force Command.
"A large group of UAVs is moving southwards from the Kirovohrad, Vinnytsia and Cherkasy regions, and further from the Sumy region. As of 7:00, around 240 drones had been recorded over the past 24 hours; we now have updated figures: over 400, and there is information that further launches may be carried out from various directions," Ihnat noted.
Threat from strategic aviation
"Strategic aviation bombers – the Tu-95 and Tu-160MS – have been scrambled. If there are launches and missiles appear, we will certainly report this," said Ihnat.
He added that in the event of launches, it would take several hours for the missiles to reach the centre of the country.
