Overnight into January 13, the russian invaders launched a missile attack on Ukraine, using 40 corresponding munitions - cruise, aeroballistic, ballistic, aviation, anti-aircraft guided missiles and attack UAVs, of which 8 were destroyed by air defense forces. Most of them did not hit the target thanks to the work of the Ukrainian electronic warfare systems.

This is stated in the text of the statement of the command of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, posted on the official page of the department on the Telegram social network.

According to the information of the military, a total of 40 means of air attack of the enemy were recorded:

- 7 S-300/S-400 anti-aircraft guided missiles from the Belgorod Oblast of the russian federation;

- 3 attack UAVs Shahed-136/131 from the Kursk Oblast;

- up to 12 Kh-101/Kh-555/Kh-55 cruise missiles from 11 Tu-95MS strategic bombers (launch area -  Caspian Sea, russia);

- 6 Kh-22 cruise missiles from Tu-22M3 bombers from the Bryansk Oblast of russia;

- 2 Kh-31P guided air missiles from two Su-35 aircraft (launch area - occupied Kherson Region);

- 4 Kh-59 guided air missiles from two Su-34 aircraft (launch area - Bryansk Oblst of rusia).

As a result of combat work by the forces and means of the Air Force, in cooperation with the Air Defense Forces of the Defense Forces, 7 cruise missiles Kh-101/Kh-555/Kh-55 and 1 guided air missile Kh-59 were destroyed.

"It should be noted that more than 20 of all the listed means of air attack, which were not included in the downed statistics, did not achieve their goals, as a result of active countermeasures by means of radio-electronic warfare!

In addition, the "unparalleled" russian missiles are getting worse and worse and fly to the middle of nowhere! However, this does not mean that they do not pose a threat, on the contrary!

Therefore, be vigilant, do not ignore the air alert, especially with the use of "ballistics", the Air Force of the Armed Forces emphasized.
