Forty-eight Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) successfully thwarted by air defense systems.
A wild night in Russia: 81 Ukrainian drones busted by air defense
Boy oh boy, it was quite the event last night! Russia's air defense units flexed their muscles, taking down a whopping 81 Ukrainian drones over 11 different Russian regions.
According to the Ministry of Defense, these aerial menaces were promptly eradicated by the on-duty air defense systems. The drones were dispatched over the Bryansk, Kursk, Oryol, Belgorod, Tula, Kaluga, and Moscow regions - with the Lipetsk region taking the hit as well.
It's important to note that authorities working at the affected sites have reported no causalities so far, thank goodness. Emergency services are still on the scene, ensuring all's well that ends well.
Now, here's where things get interesting - this mass drone assault comes hot on the heels of a preceding battle where Russia claimed to have intercepted over 200 Ukrainian drones, spread across numerous regions throughout the country. That's right, we're talking about an all-out drone war here!
Stay tuned for more updates as the situation continues to unfold. In the interim, it seems Russian air defenses are ready for anything that the Ukrainian side may throw their way!
