Recently, tensions between Ukraine and Russia have escalated again, with the Russian Ministry of Defense announcing a series of missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian military targets. These strikes include a range of important targets, including military industrial facilities, military airfields, and arsenals. This article will provide an update on the progress of the conflict in Ukraine and the systems involved.
According to the bulletin of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have carried out dozens of cluster strikes and one massive strike on Ukraine over the past week. The strikes were carried out in the period from December 23 to 29, and all the stated targets were successfully hit. A spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force also said that the Russian army uses a variety of advanced ** systems, such as "Dagger" hypersonic missiles, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, S-300 systems and drones.
Among the targets of strikes at Ukrainian military facilities, military-industrial complexes, military airfields, arsenals are considered the most important. These facilities play a key role in the military operation, and the strikes of the Russian military are aimed at weakening Ukraine's combat capabilities. According to reports, about 18 Russian strategic bombers were involved in the air strikes, including "X-22 (Kh-22) missiles, which are extremely difficult to intercept." The missile attack is considered to be of unprecedented scale against Ukraine launched by the Russian Aerospace Forces.
However, the Ukrainian army also showed strong resistance, successfully intercepting a part of the missiles and drones. According to a spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, they successfully intercepted 87 missiles and 27 drones, demonstrating their strength and ability to respond. The conflict poses a major challenge to Ukraine, but they still insist on defending their territory and national interests.
The escalation of the conflict in Ukraine poses a serious threat to the stability and security of the entire region. Russia's missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian military targets have demonstrated its military might. However, the Ukrainian army also showed great resistance and successfully intercepted part of the attack. At this critical juncture, the international community calls on Ukraine and Russia to exercise restraint and resolve the dispute diplomatically. We hope that the two sides will take action to avoid further escalation of the situation and make efforts for peace and stability in the region.
