Air defense intercepts 17 ballistic missiles, including Zircon, and 108 drones
If someone tells you they had a stressful morning, show them the Ukrainian air defense log. Russia threw their most expensive toys at us, and our guys played a record-breaking game of Space Invaders.
Our air defense team just had a shift that deserves its own action movie. The neighbors decided to go full spendthrift and launched a massive, mixed-bag attack designed to overwhelm everything we have.
We are talking about 17 heavy ballistic and anti-ship missiles. Not just any regular missiles, but the hyper-hyped Zircon, Iskander-M, and S-400 systems used in ballistic mode. To make things even more chaotic, they added a guided Kh-59/69 air missile and a massive swarm of 108 drones just to keep everyone busy.
Sifting through over a hundred buzzing drones while simultaneously catching hypersonic missiles going Mach 8 is next-level military wizardry. It is the equivalent of dodging a hundred tennis balls while successfully catching a dozen flying bricks with your bare hands.
The Kremlin's multi-million dollar "unstoppable" arsenal ended up as burning scrap metal scattered across Ukrainian fields, proving once again that hype does not win wars.
