Russia's devastating drone attack: Kyiv in fear and horror!

In the night of Wednesday there was one of the largest Russian drone attacks on Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict in February 2022. Small newspaper reports, Russia used a total of 805 drones that night, 9 Iskander K March missile and 4 Iskander-M ballistic rockets. The Ukrainian air defense was able to intercept 751 drones and 4 rockets, but there were devastating damage and losses.

The Ukrainian military observers were aware of a large number of enemy drones through alarm reports, which threatened the center and northeast of the country. Russian drones even penetrated Poland's airspace and endangered the city of Zamość, which led to Poland sent his air forces into the air to protect the airspace. In Kiev, the Air Force was heard during the attack, and in the west individual drones flew towards the city of Luzk.

Serious civil damage and losses

The effects of the attack in Kiev were particularly serious, where three people, including a toddler, were killed. In addition, the main building of the Ukrainian government in the Petschersk district was hit and inflamed. According to information from Süddeutscher Zeitung Several residential buildings and civilian infrastructure in cities such as Odessa, Kharkiw, Dnipro, Saporischschja and Krywyj Rih. At least 15 injuries were reported in Saporischeschja, while in Krementschuk, power failures occurred after explosions.

In view of the intensifying situation, Ukraine demands increased support from western states to strengthen their air defense. Experts warn that the number of attacks will continue to increase. ZDF reports that Russia is increasingly relating to swarm technology, which means that over 400 drones can be used night after night. A nine -story house crashed last night, which illustrates the effects on the civilian population.

Strategic challenges

The military experts refer to a dramatic increase in drone production in Russia, which is often used from Iran, but is now increasingly being supplemented by Chinese components. This technical upgrade enables Moscow to produce "thousands of drones a month". The combination of drones with marching aircraft and rockets indicates a strategic realignment that is difficult to ward off from Ukraine.

Ukraine has caused the need for effective defense to increase its own weapons production from 40 to 50 percent in order to be better prepared against the ongoing attacks. Experts emphasize the urgency of taking off -road measures in order to attack the enemy's shooting places and factories.

The presence of war fatigue in the Ukrainian population is noticeable because many men try to escape military service. This internal challenge is in contrast to urgency to increase international support to defend Russian aggression.
