Intensifying The Air War

Russia has notably intensified its air campaign against Ukraine in recent months. The military frequently deploys faster drones that prove difficult to intercept. They aim to exploit Kyiv's current shortage of advanced air defense missiles. These defenses are crucial for countering fast-moving ballistic and hypersonic weapons. The Ukrainian Air Force detailed the vast scale of the recent assault. The attack included an unspecified number of ballistic missiles and 282 drones. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed they targeted military communications and logistics centers. The continued destruction of infrastructure heavily impacts the daily lives of Ukrainian citizens.
