Over the past 24 hours, Russian air defense systems have destroyed more than 170 air targets. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense in a report dated December 7.

“Two guided aerial bombs, four long-range Neptune guided missiles and 172 aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down by air defense systems,” the department said in a statement. Thus, the total number of destroyed air targets was 178 units.

This report demonstrates the high intensity of the use of unmanned aircraft by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the active work of Russian air defense systems to intercept them. The destruction of Neptune missiles, which were previously used to strike distant targets, also indicates attempts to strike targets deep in the territory.
