The Russian Federation attacked Ukraine at night with 152 drones

Over the past 24 hours, there have been 219 combat engagements on the front line. Russian forces carried out two missile strikes and 92 air strikes, whilst the Defence Forces struck enemy command posts and other key targets.

Over the past 24 hours, the Russian army has lost a further 1,330 servicemen in the war against Ukraine. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the total losses of Russian personnel since the start of the full-scale invasion have exceeded 1.43 million.

The Ukrainian military carried out a strike on the Russian military airfield ‘Khalino’ in the Kursk region, resulting in the destruction of a MiG-29 fighter jet and a ‘Pantsir-S1’ anti-aircraft missile and gun system.

Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the illegitimate President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, has stated that Russia considers the possible deployment of NATO military contingents on Ukrainian territory to be unacceptable. According to him, this is precisely how the Kremlin justifies the so-called ‘special military operation’.

Lockheed Martin has unveiled a new missile, the Adapted Capability Effector, for the Patriot systems, which is set to become a cheaper alternative to PAC-3 interceptors. The development was unveiled against a backdrop of growing demand for missile defence systems in the wake of ballistic missile attacks.
