Since February 24, 2022, Russian troops have fired 7,400 missiles of various types and 3,700 drones at Ukraine. In total, this amounts to more than 11,000 weapons. This was stated by the spokesman for the Air Force Command, Yuriy Ihnat, during a telethon.
"Out of this number, approximately 1600 missiles were destroyed. But the figure of 7400 includes all missiles - S-300 and S-400 (about a third of the total), X-22, ballistic missiles (only about 900 Iskander-M ballistic missiles flew across Ukraine)," Ihnat said.
According to the speaker, since September 2022, the Russians have launched 3,700 UAVs over Ukraine, of which 2,900 have been destroyed by air defense forces.
Ihnat also said that Russian troops had launched 48 X-47m2 Kinzhal hypersonic aerial ballistic missiles over Ukraine.
"48 "Kinzhal" (Daggers) were launched at the territory of our country and 15 were shot down. Why so few? Because we didn't have Patriot before. And now Patriot allows us to practice on "Kinzhal"," Ihnat emphasized.
