Russia's Defense Ministry said its air defense forces shot down 17 long-range «Flamingo» cruise missiles and 1,750 fixed-wing drones over the past 24 hours, a figure reported by the state news agency RIA Novosti and by the business outlets Interfax and Kommersant. The ministry also said two guided aerial bombs and one US-made HIMARS multiple-launch rocket were intercepted. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
According to Interfax and Kommersant, the ministry said operational-tactical aviation, strike drones, missile troops and artillery struck locations where drones were stored and depots holding ammunition and explosives. Interfax additionally quoted the ministry as saying that temporary deployment points of Ukraine's armed forces were hit in 142 districts; the other two documents do not mention that figure. [ 2 , 3 ]
The accounts come from the Defense Ministry's own statement and are not accompanied in the documents by any independent confirmation, damage assessment or casualty information. The documents also do not state which side launched the «Flamingo» missiles, describing them only as long-range cruise missiles. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
Por qué importa
The figures are a daily battlefield claim issued by Russia's Defense Ministry and carried without independent verification by the outlets. They indicate continued large-scale drone and missile activity in the war, but neither the extent of any damage nor the attacking side's account is available in these documents, so the practical impact cannot be assessed from them.
