Overnight into October 30, the russian occupiers attacked Ukraine with 12 Shahed strike UAVs and two Kh-59 guided air missiles. Air defense forces shot down all 14 enemy targets. This is stated in the message of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Thus, it is reported that the guided air missiles Kh-59 were launched from enemy aircraft from the airspace of the temporary occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia Region, Shaheds flew from the south-eastern direction - Primorsko-Akhtarsk (the aggressor country of the russian federation).
All 14 enemy air targets were destroyed by air defense, in particular within the Mykolaiv, Kherson, Kirovohrad, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi and Dnipropetrovsk Regions.
Fighter aircraft, anti-aircraft missile forces and units of mobile fire groups of the Air Force and the Defense Forces of Ukraine were involved in repelling the air attack.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the spokesman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yurii Ihnat said that Iran has modernized Shahed-136 kamikaze drones. Now, their turbojet engine probably won't hum like a moped. However, it is currently unknown whether such "silent" drones have already flown into the airspace of Ukraine.
Earlier it was reported that the russian occupiers had modernized Lancet drones, increasing their flight range by almost two times.
