During today's combined attack by the occupiers on Ukraine, one of the three "Kinzhals" hit the area of the Starokostiantyniv airfield in the Khmelnytsky region.
This is stated in the Air Force report. They noted that on the night of October 7 (from 20:00 on October 6 to 8:30 on October 7), the enemy struck Ukraine with an Iskander-M ballistic missile, an Kh-59 guided air-launched missile, an unspecified type of missile from the Kursk and Belgorod regions, as well as strike UAVs (launch areas: Orel, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Kursk, Yeysk).
At about 08:20, the enemy struck with three Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles from three MiG-31K aircraft from the airspace of the Tambov region (Savasleyka takeoff airfield).
"In total, the Air Force's radio-technical troops detected and tracked more than 80 air targets," the report says.
The air attack was repelled by anti-aircraft missile troops, electronic warfare units and mobile fire groups of the Air Force and the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
"As a result of the anti-aircraft battle, the downing of two Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles in the Kyiv region and 32 enemy attack UAVs in the Mykolaiv, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Chernihiv, Poltava and Kharkiv regions was confirmed.
"Several hits by enemy attack UAVs were recorded in the frontline Kharkiv region. One of the three Kinzhals hit in the area of the Starokostiantyniv airfield in the Khmelnytsky region," the Air Force detailed.
In addition, 37 Russian drones were locally lost in different regions of Ukraine, probably as a result of active electronic warfare countermeasures. The information is being clarified.
