Around 8:20 a.m., the russians launched an attack with three Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles from three MiG-31K aircraft from the airspace of the Tambov Oblast of the russian federation (departure airport - Savasleyka).

In total, more than 80 air targets were identified and tracked by the Air Forces’ radio engineering troops.
