Moscow Fends Off 10 Ukrainian Drone Attacks in One Day
18 Jul
Summary
- Russian air defenses intercepted or destroyed 10 Ukrainian drones headed for Moscow
- Attacks occurred over nearly 10 hours on Friday
- Ukraine has launched drones against Russian targets, including military aircraft
On Friday, July 18th, Russian air defenses were put to the test as they intercepted or destroyed 10 Ukrainian drones headed for Moscow. The attacks occurred over the course of nearly 10 hours, according to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, who provided updates on the situation via Telegram.
Fortunately, Sobyanin reported no casualties or damage from the drone incursions. This latest incident is part of an ongoing pattern of Ukraine targeting Russian assets with drone strikes. Just last month, Ukraine carried out an operation dubbed "Operation Spiders Web," which saw Russian long-range military aircraft come under attack at several air bases.
The escalating drone warfare between Russia and Ukraine underscores the high-stakes battle for control of the skies. As the conflict continues, both sides are employing increasingly sophisticated aerial tactics to gain the upper hand.
