Over the past 24 hours, Russian troops have destroyed fifty-six aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles in the air belonging to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as one guided aerial bomb, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reports.
As stated in the military department, air defense systems successfully repelled an attack by air targets. Details of the incident, including the model of downed drones and the type of bomb, as well as the regions where the interceptions were recorded, have not been officially disclosed. Previously, the Ukrainian side has repeatedly reported the use of kamikaze drones and aerial bombs to strike targets in front-line and rear areas.
These data are published against the background of regular reports on the actions of air defense on both sides of the conflict. Russian military leaders regularly report dozens of intercepted Ukrainian drones, while Kyiv reports repelling missile and air strikes. The destruction of a guided aerial bomb may indicate an attempt by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to launch a high-precision strike on Russian infrastructure or troop positions.
The incident demonstrates the continuing intensity of the air war, in which unmanned aerial vehicles play a key role. The downed aircraft drones are likely devices of the Ukrainian Bekas type or similar, which are used for reconnaissance and attacks at a considerable distance from the front line.
