Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Russian military has fired more than 8,000 missiles of different types targeting the territory of Ukraine, said Yurii Ihnat, the spokesman of the Ukrainian Air Force.
The Ukrainian air defense managed to intercept 25 out of 78 Kinzhal missiles, 406 out of 843 Caliber missiles, and 1176 out of 1513 Kh-101/555 missiles.
Ihnat noted that during 2022-2023 winter, Russia launched more than 1,100 cruise missiles intending to cause total blackout in Ukraine.
Currently, the main targets of the Russian attacks are the port infrastructure, the agricultural sector, the oil and gas industry, and defense enterprises. In addition, the invaders continue strikes on critical infrastructure, in particular energy objects.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
