During the day, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation hit 10 enemy targets with high-precision air-launched missiles. As a result, three areas of concentration of units of the 81st and 93rd separate mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed in Barvenkovo, Kramatorsk and Lisichansk.
In addition, in the settlements of Rebel Odessa region and Novoelizovetovka, our troops hit two places of concentration of Ukrainian military equipment and weapons. In the districts of Parutino and Nikolaev there are warehouses of rocket and artillery weapons. And in Yasenovoye and Sribnoye - the locations of nationalist formations. This was announced on Friday evening by the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Igor Konashenkov.
He also said that our rocket troops and artillery defeated 217 military facilities of Ukraine. Among them are 15 control points of the AFU units and 201 strong points and areas of concentration of enemy manpower.
"Operational and tactical aviation destroyed 6 Ukrainian military facilities during the day. Among them are an artillery battery, two multiple rocket launchers, two warehouses of rocket and artillery weapons and three areas of concentration of personnel and Ukrainian military equipment," Konashenkov said.
The general added that Russian air defense systems shot down a Ukrainian Tu-143 "Flight" unmanned aerial vehicle near the settlement of Oktyabrsky. Previously, the defeat of such targets in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation was not reported. However, it is known that this reconnaissance unmanned vehicle weighing more than 1200 kg was developed back in the Soviet period for conducting tactical low-altitude reconnaissance in the frontline. During the Soviet era, 950 such devices were produced.
They have not been in the Russian army for a long time. And in Ukrainian, it seems, they have been preserved. As well as no less ancient Tu-141 "Strizh", notorious for their uncontrolled flights from Ukraine to Romania and Hungary.
Meanwhile, according to Konashenkov, since the beginning of the special military operation, 132 Ukrainian aircraft, 105 helicopters, 245 anti-aircraft missile systems, 457 drones, 2,224 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 251 multiple rocket launchers, 971 field artillery guns and mortars, as well as 2,123 special military vehicles have been destroyed.
