Russia Sent 140+ Things to Kill Us Last Night, and It Was Mostly a Waste

Original version ·

Another night, another massive attempt to drain our air defense batteries with a chaotic swarm of hardware.

So, Russia decided to throw the kitchen sink at us—a mix of Zircon, Onyx, and Iskander-M missiles, plus a chaotic swarm of over 140 Shahed, Gerbera, and various decoy drones. It looked like an attempt to overwhelm our systems with sheer volume.

Instead, our air defense crews turned the sky into a shooting gallery. They neutralized 125 of those drones and six ballistic missiles before they could hit their targets. It’s honestly impressive how much effort they put into sending expensive tech just to have it turned into scrap metal by our guys.

The sheer amount of resources wasted on this single night is staggering, yet the damage remains surprisingly limited compared to the scale of the launch. Apparently, burning through entire warehouses of munitions is the new way to achieve absolutely nothing of strategic value.
