Ukrainian Air Defense Shoots Down 710 Enemy Drones in 10 Hours

Ukrainian air defense destroyed 710 enemy drones of various types, including jet-powered variants, within 10 hours.

The Ukrainian Air Force reported these figures.

According to the military, from 08:00 to 18:30 local time, Russian forces launched 753 strike drones, including Shahed-type UAVs, jet-powered variants, as well as Gerberas, Italmas and Parodiya-type decoy drones.

Including a night attack during which the enemy used another 139 UAVs, the total number of drones launched during the day exceeded 892.

The main direction of the attack was Ukraine’s western regions.

The attack was notable for the repeated use of Belarusian and Moldovan airspace by strike drones en route to Ukraine.
Air force units, air defense missile units, electronic warfare units, unmanned systems units, and mobile fire groups of the Ukrainian Defense Forces were involved in repelling the attack.

The Air Force reported 27 strike drones shot down, with debris from downed UAVs falling at 26 locations.

A similar large-scale attack took place on March 24.

At that time, 948 drones were used in a single day, of which 906 were shot down.
