Thus, according to Ihnat, the main difference of this attack was the use of mainly ballistic missiles.

"Today, the peculiarity of the attack was that in addition to 320 strike UAVs of the Shahed, Gerbera and other types, 37 missiles were used," Ihnat said.

He also reported that this time russia mainly used ballistic missiles - 28 units (2 Kinzhals and 26 Iskander-Ms).
