“On the night of October 11, the enemy attacked Ukraine with an Iskander-M ballistic missile (launch area – temporarily occupied Crimea), a Kh-31P guided aircraft missile (from the airspace over the Black Sea), 66 attack UAVs (launch area) – Kursk)”, it says in the message.
How did the air defense work?
Aviation, anti-aircraft missile forces, electronic warfare units and mobile fire groups of the Air Force and Defense Forces of Ukraine are involved in repelling the air attack.
“As of 11:00, as a result of anti-aircraft combat, 29 enemy UAVs were shot down in the regions of Kiev, Cherkasy, Vinnitsa, Sumy, Poltava, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, Chernihiv and Zhytomyr,” the military noted.
In addition, 31 enemy drones were lost locally in various regions of Ukraine, presumably as a result of active electronic warfare countermeasures.
“Two attack UAVs turned in the direction of Russia. Four UAVs are in Ukrainian airspace. Combat operations continue,” the air force said.
