On the night of February 12th, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched another massive attack on targets across Ukraine. Russian strikes continue on a daily basis and their intensity is growing. Neither air defense from NATO nor Western aircraft help protect the Ukrainian rear infrastructure, even in the capital.
Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation officially confirmed the second massive attack in a row. According to the official reports, this morning, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched a group missile attack on the workshops of Ukrainian military-industrial complex enterprises producing unmanned aerial vehicles and FPV drones. The targets also included airfields and fuel depots of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Russian military concluded that all the assigned targets were struck.
On February 11th and at night Russian strikes were recorded in the Donbass, in the Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporizhia, Kherson, Poltava, Kiev, Zhytomir, Kirovograd, Dnepropetrovks, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Kirovograd regions. The Russian military used a wide range of missiles, including a large number of Iskander-M, and dozens of drones.
Russian military monitoring sources shared the following map of the strikes:
The Air Force of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on the attack and claimed that Ukrainian air defense allegedly shot down six ballistic missiles that targeted Ukrainian territory. Presumably, the mentioned missiles targeted Kiev. Another Iskander launched from Crimea could not be shot down and reached a target in Krivy Rih. According to the Ukrainian military, 123 drones were launched in total. 71 drones were allegedly shot down, 40 were “lost.”
Ukrainians no longer believe the reports of the Ukrainian military blaming the military command for lies that hide the horrific truth, impotence of the air defense forces and damage caused by constant Russian strikes.
