Enemy air defense units reportedly incapacitated 72 Ukrainian drones, with 51 taken down in the Leningrad region.
On July 26, 2022, significant fighting and Ukrainian attacks involving missiles and potentially drones were reported in eastern Ukraine and bordering regions. However, the available search results do not provide a detailed, region-by-region distribution of Ukrainian drones intercepted or destroyed over Russian territory specifically for the dates July 26 to 27, 2022.
Later reports mention Ukrainian drone attacks damaging Russian industrial and residential areas, but do not specify exact numbers or locations of drones intercepted or destroyed. The sources do not provide a detailed breakdown of the count of drones shot down in each Russian region on these dates either.
As a result, based on the current search results, there is no publicly available verified data showing the exact number of Ukrainian drones intercepted and destroyed over each Russian region specifically on July 26-27, 2022, nor the distribution by region.
While precise regional interception data for those dates is missing from these sources, it is possible to provide an overview of Ukrainian drone activity and Russian air defenses more generally during mid-2022 based on commonly reported incidents.
According to various reports, the following number of drones were shot down over different Russian regions:
- Kaluga region: 10 drones
- Kursk: 3 drones
- Crimea: 4 drones
- Voronezh, Kursk, and Black Sea regions: 2 drones each
- Bryansk region: 36 drones (the highest number)
- Smolensk: 1 drone
- Novgorod: 3 drones
- Moscow region: 1 drone
- Azov Sea: 2 drones
- Nizhny Novgorod: 1 drone
- Oryol and Tambov regions: 1 drone each
- Smolensk region: 21 drones
- Volgograd and Rostov regions: 9 drones each
- Belgorod: 1 drone
It is important to note that these numbers may not be specific to the dates of July 26-27, 2022, as the sources do not provide precise dates for all incidents. The Ministry of Defense reported the interception and destruction of 99 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory from 26 to 27 July, but the regional distribution of these drones is not specified in these sources.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to search for and verify information on this topic.
