The Russian Defense Ministry's spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said on Sunday that almost 1,000 Ukrainian UAVs have been destroyed since the start of the war.

Konashenkov explained that since the beginning of the conflict with Ukraine, the Russian armed forces destroyed 174 planes, 125 helicopters, 977 unmanned aerial vehicles, 317 anti-aircraft missile systems, 3,198 tanks, and other armored combat vehicles, 408 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,622 field artillery guns and mortars, as well as 3,077 units of special military vehicles.

The spokesperson said that the Russian air forces hit 26 hubs overnight and destroyed three control centers and an ammunition storage facility. Russia also launched high-precision missiles that hit 13 personnel and military hubs and destroyed four ammunition depots.

"As a result of the strikes, more than 210 nationalists were killed, and 38 units of Ukrainian military equipment were disabled," Konashenkov said, adding that Russia's missile defense systems intercepted two Ukrainian missiles launched from the Smerch heavy multiple rocket launchers.

Yesterday, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed a huge batch of weapons and military equipment that were sent by the USA and European countries to Ukrainian troops in Zhytomir Region, near the Malin railway station, with high-precision, long-range sea-based Kalibr missiles.

Air-based Russian missiles ruined the fuel storage for the Ukrainian nationalists' armored vehicles near Odessa.

Operational-tactical and army aviation hit 47 areas of AFU manpower and military equipment concentration, 4 command posts, and 1 ammunition depot near Drobyshevo.
