Hey everyone 👋 Russia just launched what it's calling a "massive strike" on Ukrainian military-industrial hubs and gas-energy facilities. They're flexing long-range, high-precision firepower – think hypersonic Kinzhal missiles zooming in from air, land, and sea, plus swarms of combat drones. 🚀
The Russian Defense Ministry says "all designated targets have been hit." They also claim their air defenses shot down two guided aerial bombs and 178 drones over the past day. 🛡️
Ukraine, for its part, reported that Russian forces launched 45 missiles and 458 drones overnight against critical infrastructure. Ukraine's air defenses say they downed 406 drones and nine missiles. Talk about intense drone warfare! 🤖💥
This showdown highlights how modern conflict tech is evolving. Hypersonic missiles travel at over five times the speed of sound, making them nearly impossible to track. And drones? They're swarming from all angles, pushing air defenses to their limits. ✈️⚔️
As the night sky over Ukraine lights up with explosions and intercepts, the world's eyes are on this high-tech clash. Stay tuned for updates! 🔔
