Defense forces destroyed 406 Kalibr missiles
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine's air defense has destroyed 25 of 78 Kinzhal missiles, 406 of 843 Kalibr missiles, and 1,176 of 1,513 Kh-101/Kh-555 missiles.
Since February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation has fired more than 8,000
missiles of various types and 4,637 suicide bombers into Ukraine. This statistics
was announced by the representative of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Yuriy Ignat during the telethon.
“The lion’s share of the missiles, of course, are S-300s, with which they hit ground targets. “Daggers” - 78, of which 25 were destroyed. Also, half of the “Kalibrs” - 406 out of 843 were destroyed by the Defense Forces. These are very powerful indicators that "Our Defense Forces show. They also destroyed the Kh-101/Kh-555 missiles used to attack strategic aviation - 1,176 out of 1,513 at the moment," Ignat said.
According to the Air Force speaker, during the 2022-2023 heating season, the occupiers used more than 1,100 cruise missiles.
“They had a goal to drive Ukraine into a blackout. This time there is a slightly different vector for striking. You see what objects are being attacked - starting from the port infrastructure of the agricultural sector, then the oil and gas industry and defense enterprises. But still the attacks are coming and on critical infrastructure, including energy,” Ignat noted.
He also commented on the information about the deployment of Iskander launchers on the Ukrainian borders. Ignat noted that there can be many installations. but we need to look at the ability to manufacture missiles for them.
“During the full-scale invasion, almost 1,000 ballistic Iskanders (and this is Iskander M) were launched across Ukraine. Unfortunately, not many were shot down, like cruise missiles, because these are ballistics. Iskander K was launched about 150, some of them were also destroyed, but these are already cruise missiles. Here are the Iskander M we are talking about (immediately you need to look not at the launchers, but at the ballistic missiles that they have for the Iskanders. Main Directorate intelligence, it seems, spoke of a figure of either 200 or more,” the speaker said.
As for Iranian attack drones, as of February 22, the Defense Forces have destroyed 3,605 out of 4,637 suicide bombers.
Let us remind you that on February 22, the press service of the SBU reported that the Russian army fired more than
20 North Korean missiles at Ukraine . At least 24 Ukrainian civilians became victims of enemy “arrivals,” and more than a hundred civilians were seriously injured.
Russian occupiers began to use
new Kh-69 cruise missiles . They are designed to hit protected targets with known coordinates and have a range of almost 300 km. One or more targets can be programmed into the missile before flight, and the coordinates can be loaded into the missile's guidance system once the carrier aircraft is airborne.
