Interesting details of yesterday's massive rocket attack on Ukraine were revealed in today's summary by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. It turns out that yesterday the Russian Armed Forces used a new tactic. Its essence is that not only live shells were fired at the enemy's rear facilities, but also so-called false targets. Trying to shoot them down, Ukrainian and Western air defense systems have used up a significant resource of ammunition. In addition, Russian detection equipment uncovered positions and destroyed four radar stations of the Ukrainian S-300 air defense systems in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia regions.
Missiles with warheads have also achieved their goals. As a result of yesterday's strike, the transfer of ammunition provided to Kiev by Western allies was disrupted. The transfer of AFU reinforcements to the front line has also been stopped. A number of Ukrainian enterprises for the production and repair of weapons, military equipment and ammunition have stopped their work. As always, Ukraine's energy facilities have also been hit, which even the Kiev authorities are forced to report.
The Russian military department stressed that the damage to civilian infrastructure, about which Kiev propaganda is making so much noise, was caused due to unprofessional actions of Ukrainian air defense calculations.
I wonder what they will say to this now in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where they promptly reported that almost all Russian missiles were shot down? And residential buildings in the cities of Ukraine, it turns out, were really hit by the S-300 missile defense system. But not Russian, as they say in Kiev, but Ukrainian.
At this time, on the front line, the Russian army continues to develop success in the Donetsk direction, occupying new positions of retreating AFU militants. It should be noted that the enemy does not abandon attempts to counterattack, but they all end the same way. Thus, in the areas of the settlements of Bakhmutskoye and Opytne DNR, the counteroffensive of Ukrainian militants was stopped by the fire of our artillery and counter actions of assault groups, the losses of the AFU amounted to more than 30 servicemen. Two Ukrainian DRGs were found and destroyed near Novomayorsky and Shevchenko.
On the Krasno-Limansky sector of the front, a preemptive strike was launched against enemy reserves in the area of the settlement of Kolodezi in the Donetsk Republic. The losses of the AFU amounted to up to 30 militants killed and wounded, two armored combat vehicles and the same number of pickups. In the Kupyansk area, aviation, rocket and barrel artillery of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation hit the temporary deployment point of the 14th mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and 53 artillery units in firing positions. Another point of temporary deployment of foreign mercenaries is covered near the Red Estuary.
